2020 Chiroubles, Lafarge-Vial, Beaujolais

Description

There are two parcels here of decomposed pink granite soil in the lieu-dit Bel-Air. The vines are 45 years old, vinified as 30% whole bunches and aged in used 350-litre barrels. This is energetic, perfumed Beaujolais. A charming and pure red-berry fruit character gives some sweetness to the mid-palate, finished off with salty granite tannins.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 88/100
Pretty purple with a pink tinge. Agreeable fruit and floral nose of medium density. Quite a weight of the fruit at the front of the palate that then kicks on through.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (October 2021)

Allen Meadows 90/100
An overtly peppery nose of various dark berries and earth nuances leads to supple, round and relatively refined middle-weight flavours that possess an appealing texture thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the moderately firm finale. Note that this could be enjoyed soon after release or held for 5 to 7 years first.Drink from 2026 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (April 2022)
