From their outpost in Beaujolais, Frédéric Lafarge and Chantal Lafarge-Vial bring Burgundian detail and biodynamic farming to the granite hills of Chiroubles. Known as the highest and most delicate of the Beaujolais crus, Chiroubles produces wines with fragrance and finesse—and in Lafarge-Vial’s 2022 vintage, that elegance is beautifully captured.

The nose is all violets, wild strawberry, and crushed raspberry, with subtle hints of rose and stony earth. The palate is light on its feet but finely structured, with supple tannins, juicy acidity, and a gentle mineral finish. There’s no excess weight—just clarity and lift, with that unmistakable Lafarge touch: precise, understated, and quietly captivating.

Perfect with roast chicken, charcuterie, or a chill and a sunset. Chiroubles 2022 is Beaujolais for Burgundy lovers—expressive, transparent, and crafted with care.

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.

"Ripe and distinctly pepper-inflected dark berries lead to delicious middleweight flavours that possess good richness and generosity before concluding in a dusty, serious and moderately structured finale. Lovely."
