2022 Chiroubles, Lafarge-Vial, Beaujolais

Description

There are two parcels here, on decomposed pink granite soil in the lieu-dit of Bel-Air. This is pretty, charming and forward, with crunchy red-berry fruit and a saline grip to the finish. This is delicious, refreshing Beaujolais at its best.

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.
