2019 Fleurie, Joie du Palais, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

Description

This is an exceptionally steep vineyard of 65-year-old vines; half is on a 40-degree slope, which horses must plough. One-third of the grapes were manually destemmed. The nose is pure and ethereal, with a stony freshness and vibrant raspberry fruit. The palate offers a beautiful concentration of rich redcurrant fruit wrapped in noble tannins.

About this wine

Gamay

A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.
