Les Mitans sits at mid-slope on the Volnay hillside, where sandy-clay soils coax a particularly perfumed, floral expression from Pinot Noir. This is the most immediately seductive of Lafarge's premier crus — the one that greets you with rose petal and red fruit before the structure quietly announces itself. Frédéric Lafarge and daughter Clothilde farm the site biodynamically and age in old oak, letting the terroir speak without interference. The 2023 vintage brought freshness and precision across the Côte de Beaune, and Mitans captures that energy beautifully.

"The 2023 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is aged in 15% new oak. It has a cohesive bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed iris flower scents. It gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red and black fruit. Quite compact on the mid-palate, it offers orange rind and sour cherries on the finish. Drink this over the next 15 years." —Neal Martin

"The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans opens in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries and dark chocolate, mingled with subtle suggestions of grilled meats and leather. Medium-bodied, soft and open-knit, with sweet, powdery tannins and a carnal finish, it's less structured than is often the case." —William Kelley
