2022 Fleurie, Clos Vernay, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

Description

The 1.3-hectare clos is located near the Moulin-à-Vent border, sharing some of the structure of its neighbour. The 50-year-old vines sit on a mix of granite and quartz. This is often a little austere, but in 2022 there is a prettier character and a sweet ball of fruit to go with the granite frame.

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.
