Producer

Producer

THE domaine It is small (approximately 4 hectares initially), but it comprises ideally located plots in two major wine regions: Chiroubles - This is the highest cru of Beaujolais. Here, the soil is composed of decomposed granite (granitic sands). The style: Wines of extreme finesse, floral (violet), ethereal, with a crystalline freshness. This is undoubtedly the wine of the domaine which comes closest to the elegance of a Volnay. Flowery - The domaine owns plots of land such as La Joie du Palais and Bel-Air. The style: Fuller-bodied, silky wines with notes of peony and luscious red berries. The Fleurie terroir imparts a remarkable depth of texture.

Owner and history

THE Domaine Lafarge-Vial is one of the most exciting projects to have emerged in Beaujolais in recent years. It represents the union of two illustrious names from Burgundy: Frédéric Lafarge (of the legendary Domaine Michel Lafarge in Volnay) and his wife Chantal Vial. In 2014, this couple of purist winemakers decided to cross the border from the Côte d'Or to settle in Beaujolais, convinced by the exceptional potential of the granite terroirs for the Gamay grape variety.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking "in the Burgundian style"
This is where Lafarge-Vial distinguishes itself from local tradition. While many in Beaujolais practice carbonic maceration (whole bunches, CO2-saturated environment), the Lafarge family uses a more Burgundian method:

Partial destemming: Depending on the vintage, part of the grapes are destemmed (the berries are separated from the stem).
Classic macerations: The aim is to extract fine tannins and an elegant structure rather than simple candy or banana aromas.
Aging: The wines are aged in old oak barrels (Burgundy pieces) or foudres, without any new wood so as not to mask the purity of the fruit.
