2019 Fleurie, Joie du Palais, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

Description

This is an exceptionally steep vineyard of 65-year-old vines; half is on a 40-degree slope, which horses must plough. One-third of the grapes were manually destemmed. The nose is pure and ethereal, with a stony freshness and vibrant raspberry fruit. The palate offers a beautiful concentration of rich redcurrant fruit wrapped in noble tannins.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92/100

This, too, is attractively elegant and admirably pure with its even more floral-suffused aromas of dark berry essence laced with discreet spice wisps. There is fine volume and delineation to the vibrant and intensely mineral-driven medium-weight flavours that firm up as the strikingly long finish sits on the palate. Even so, I suspect this will be approachable after 3 to 4 years if you enjoy your Bojo on the younger side.

Drink from 2026 onward
