2022 Fleurie, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

Description

This is the established blend of the Bel-Air and Cercillon lieux-dits. The soil is decomposed pink granite, combining with the relative altitude to give a lifted and perfumed wine. This is high-toned with vibrant strawberry fruit, some spice notes and a grippy, granitic finish that gives surprising length.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92/100

This is also bright and pepper-inflected on the nose that blends both red and dark gamay scents. There is a slightly better refinement to the delicious medium-weight flavours that display slightly better depth and persistence on the mildly firmer finale. Good stuff with equally good ageing potential.

Drink from 2030 onward
