"A deeper colour with a little oxidation on the nose from this sample but they didn’t have a fresh bottle to hand. A rich and thick textured fruit even so." - Jasper Morris MW InsideBurgundy.com, Nov 2023
DOMAINE LAFARGE-VIAL: Cru Beaujolais Made Like Burgundy's Best!
Domaine Lafarge Vial is a well-established winery in Beaujolais, founded by Frédéric Lafarge and his wife Chantal in the spring of 2014. With a focus on producing Cru Beaujolais, the Lafarge family employs the same intensity and artistry as they do with their renowned Domaine Michel Lafarge in Volnay.
Situated in the commune of Fleurie, the domaine owns several vineyard parcels in Fleurie and one small adjoining parcel in Chiroubles within the lieu-dit Bel-Air. The vineyards are traditionally trained in the gobelet method and planted on degraded granite soils. Right from the start, the Lafarges embraced biodynamic practices, mirroring their approach at Domaine Michel Lafarge in Volnay, and they are working towards obtaining biodynamic certification for their Fleurie and Chiroubles wines. They own over 4 hectares of Gamay vines, some up to 70 years old, spread across five parcels on steep granitic terrain.
