Fleurie Rouge 2022 | Wine from Domaine Lafarge Vial

The Domaine Lafarge-Vial, created in 2014 by Chantal, Frédéric, and their daughter Clotilde, is the result of a passion for quality viticulture. After excelling at the family estate in Volnay, they turned to Beaujolais, acquiring plots of old vines in Fleurie. Cultivated organically and converted to biodynamics, these goblet-pruned and horse-plowed vines reveal all the richness of their terroir. The winemaking, inspired by Burgundian traditions, enhances the Gamay grape variety with finesse and elegance.

The Fleurie 2022 from Domaine Lafarge-Vial is an emblematic cru from Beaujolais, highlighting the authenticity and typicity of the Gamay grape. Its bright red color and seductive aromatic bouquet evoke ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a touch of undergrowth. On the palate, it stands out with a beautiful density, harmonious freshness, and silky tannins. This wine wonderfully reflects the expertise of the estate while remaining accessible to all lovers of terroir wines.

The Fleurie 2022 reveals a generous and refined aromatic palette.
