2022 Fleurie, Joie du Palais, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

Description

This vineyard, situated near La Madone, is exceptionally steep (a 40-50% gradient) and is planted with 65-year-old vines. Rich red fruit washes over the palate with unctuous, melting tannins. This lives up to its name; there is real joy here, allied to a magical finesse.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 91/100

A bright crimson purple. The nose has a delicious energy, even though this is not the freshest sample. It is a wine of harmony on the palate, with a long flowing finish. It is very graceful with the flower power of Fleurie’s best, plus the upper hillsides’ fresher approach. A candidate for a 5th star if tasted in ideal conditions.

Exceptionally pretty aromas offer up softly spicy and lightly peppery nuances on the relatively floral-infused red berry scents. The delicious, lilting and more refined flavours exude more evident minerality on the lingering finale that is shaped by attractively fine-grained tannins. This could use better depth, but a few years of keeping should address that.
