{"product_id":"lafarge-vial-fleurie-clos-vernay-2024-750ml","title":"Lafarge-Vial, Fleurie \"Clos Vernay\", 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eClos Vernay is a single vineyard tucked into a sheltered valley in Fleurie, where the granite carries a heavy seam of quartz — and it makes the most delineated, precise wine Lafarge-Vial bottles. The 1.33-hectare site faces south to southeast and was planted in 1975 and 1980, making it the youngest-vined of their Fleurie parcels, which is part of why it comes across so airy and high-toned. Frédéric Lafarge of Volnay and Chantal Vial have farmed here since 2014, certified organic and Demeter biodynamic, and vinify as they do at home: about 15% whole clusters, ambient yeast fermentation in concrete, gentle extraction, then a year in used 228- and 350-liter barrels alongside 30-hectoliter foudres — the only cuvée in the range to see the larger wood. A cool, wet, late 2024 harvest, picked in the second week of September, gave a fresh and floral version rather than a rich one. Drink it over the next five or six years; a short decant opens it up beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildman [WMN]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46273855258681,"sku":"NYC-WMN-`25724`-080326-6","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Lafarge-Vial-Fleurie-Clos-Vernay-2024-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1786113556","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/lafarge-vial-fleurie-clos-vernay-2024-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
