In the heart of the Beaujolais region, Lafarge-Vial’s Fleurie 2022 stands out for its finesse and expressive character. Known as one of the most elegant of the Cru Beaujolais, Fleurie captures the purity of Gamay with a balance of fruit, floral delicacy, and a touch of minerality.

On the nose, Fleurie 2022 greets you with aromas of fresh red berries—strawberry, raspberry, and cherry—interwoven with subtle floral notes of violet and rose petals. There’s a whisper of earthiness in the background, adding complexity without detracting from the wine’s lively character. On the palate, the wine is soft yet structured, with silky tannins that create a smooth texture. The fruit is bright and juicy, balanced by an acidity that keeps the wine refreshing and vibrant. The finish is crisp, with a mineral edge that lingers and invites the next sip.

This Fleurie pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, charcuterie, or a creamy goat cheese salad. It’s an incredibly versatile wine that’s perfect for both everyday enjoyment and more special occasions. With its balance of elegance and fruit-forward charm, Lafarge-Vial Fleurie 2022 is a classic expression of Gamay—elegant, fresh, and absolutely delightful.

More about Lafarge-Vial

Frédéric Lafarge and his wife Chantal made a radical move in 2014: they left Volnay to start over in Beaujolais. At Fleurie, they farm biodynamically and make wine using traditional Burgundian methods. Their kids Maxime-Henri and Clothilde are taking over—ensuring the weird, beautiful vision continues.

Tasting Profile

Red cherry, floral, and herbal with light tannins. Light-bodied with bright acidity and a refreshing finish.

When a famous winemaker wanders far from home to make a totally new wine, you can be skeptical. When Gaja makes Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany, how much of Gaja’s magic really ends up in the final wine? It can be hard to say.

It's not hard to say with Lafarge's Beaujolais: Yes, they bottled their magic.

Lafarge, of course, has been making magic in Volnay for decades. But with small holdings, frost and hail, they don't get to make enough of it to go around. So they headed a little south to the Beaujolais, where they bought vines and named their new Domaine Lafarge-Vial (Vial is Chantal’s maiden name).

It shouldn't come as a big surprise that they've done such a good job. The family has made one of the greatest Bourgogne Passetoutgrains for generations: they know Gamay.

More important, Beaujolais isn't that far from home. So they have no problem being actively involved in the farming (same organic and biodynamic practices as in Volnay) and the winemaking. As a bonus, Gamay in Beaujolais ripens at a slightly different time than their grapes in Volnay, so they can do one harvest after another without missing a beat.
