Côte de Brouilly AOC 2023 - Lafarge Vial

About the wine

Michel Lafarge, a sounding name and a big figure, Burgundy experts click their tongues, but barely available and known in Switzerland so far. A few years ago, son Frédéric Lafarge and his wife Chantal (née Vial) founded Domaine Lafarge-Vial in Beaujolais, excellent terroirs, very old vines. They remain true to themselves, biodynamic management (not yet certified), classic work in the cellar, everything here is done by hand, the steep slopes are managed with the help of horses and the wines make you sit up and take notice in the first two vintages, wonderful fresh, precise, mineral wines that express their terroir in an unadulterated way. Anyone who only tastes these wines will never understand where the dubious reputation of Beaujolais comes from.
