Frederic Lafarge (of Domaine Michel Lafarge in Volnay) and Chantal Vial founded this Beaujolais domaine in 2014. They farm approximately 6 hectares across Chiroubles and Fleurie. Chiroubles is the highest cru of Beaujolais, with vineyards averaging 400 meters elevation on granite and quartz soils. Certified organic and Demeter biodynamic, the estate has practiced biodynamic methods from the start. Vines average 70 years old. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts, including semi-carbonic maceration in whole bunches.

Antonio Galloni

88 points

"The 2023 Chiroubles, which is fully destemmed, has a fresh blackcurrant- and Morello cherry-scented bouquet. The palate is sweet and ripe on the entry with candied red fruit, crisp acidity and a harmonious, silky smooth finish. This is drinking perfectly now but will give several years' drinking pleasure." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 2023 Chiroubles presents a vibrant medley of raspberries, blueberries and delicate hints of fresh-cut lilac and violet petals. Airy and round, this stands out as the most approachable of the lineup; the wine keeps you going back for more, particularly with its refreshingly salty finish." —Kenna Wells

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.
