2017 Fleurie, Lafarge Vial

2017 Fleurie, Lafarge Vial

Ref: LAVI170
Red  |  Still  |  13% ABV

The wines at this great Volnay estate are now made by Frédéric Lafarge, Michel's son. The domaine works around 10 hectares of vines biodynamically and produces among the finest wines in the Côte de Beaune. The cellars here are low-ceilinged, cobwebbed and there's very little evidence of new barrels (very few are employed). Yet the wines emanating from the old wood casks are as beautiful an expression of their individual grape varieties and terroirs as one could hope to encounter.

Tasting Notes

A rich and sweetly ripe nose of nutty blue fruits. This is very fresh from the front of the palate and the blue fruits are utterly delicious. Palate is sustained and juicy and offers fresh tannic support. Very direct and very lovely. Bowes Wine orignal note

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
