All of the vineyards are trained in the traditional gobelet method and planted on weathered granite. The Lafarges have practised biodynamics from the outset, mirroring their approach in Volnay and working towards biodynamic certification in Fleurie. The domaine began with just 2.25 hectares which was increased to 4.1 hectares from the 2015 vintage. The additional plots include La Joie du Palais in Fleurie — a high altitude, old vine parcel with steep slopes that require horse ploughing. A slight delay in ripeness levels of the grapes between the Côte de Beaune and Beaujolais allows the Lafarges to be present for harvest at both domaines. The vines in Beaujolais are hand-harvested, and the majority are destemmed. Gentle extraction and 12 months élevage in old oak barrels (including foudres) ensure the terroir expression of their crus shines through.
