This is a special bottling in magnums only of their oldest Pinot Noir and Gamay vines.  All of the vines are 90+ years old. As old as Michel Lafarge was. Clotilde Lafarge made this as a tribute to her grandfather.  Her great-grandfather planted the vines the year Michel was born.  These grapes come from the parcel on top of the hill.

"The 2018 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain "Anthologie" is actually not the confirmed name at the time of this writing, but it is a special one-off cuvée that comes from 90-year-old vines. It boasts a very pure raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet mixed with rose petals, much more Pinot than Gamay. The palate is medium-bodied with raspberry and cranberry fruit. Nicely proportioned and structured on the finish. This will be bottled mainly in larger formats." —Neal Martin

"Since the Lafarge family's parcel of Passetoutgrain was planted the year that paterfamilias Michel Lafarge was born, they decided to produce a special cuvée, the 2018 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain Cuvée Anthologie, to celebrate Michel's 90th birthday. Taking only fruit of vines from the original planting and from the upper part of the parcel, the grapes were destemmed by hand, and they produced enough wine to fill one 300-liter barrel and one 600-liter foudre. Unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of sweet red berries, peonies and rich soil tones, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and and succulent, with lively acids, powdery structuring tannins and a long finish. Any of the ensuing large-format bottles will be well worth tracking down." —William Kelley

"This is a special bottling of Passetoutgrains, created as a homage to Michel Lafarge and to this 90-year-old vineyard that was planted in the year he was born. Blended fro equal parts Gamay and Pinot Noir and aged in larger oak, it's sweet, crunchy and refined, with old-vine concentration, supple tannins and flavours of raspberry and pomegranate."
