Côte De Brouilly Lafarge-Vial, 2022

Côte de Brouilly Lafarge-Vial 2022 is a vibrant, terroir-driven Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most respected names, bringing together finesse, purity and a distinctly mineral edge. Sourced from the slopes of Côte de Brouilly in Burgundy, it reflects both the generosity of the vintage and the precision associated with Lafarge-Vial.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with youthful clarity. The nose is expected to lean toward fresh red berries, cherry, violet and subtle peppery spice, with a lifted floral character that gives the wine real charm. On the palate, Gamay’s natural juiciness comes through with energetic red-fruit flavors, supple tannins and a lively line of acidity. Côte de Brouilly often adds a stony, volcanic minerality and extra depth, making the wine feel more structured and serious than many easy-drinking reds. It should be enjoyable young for its freshness, but it can also develop nuance over the next few years.

Production
Côte de Brouilly is one of the cru villages of Beaujolais, known for its steep granite and blue stone soils that give wines tension, perfume and mineral detail. Lafarge-Vial is associated with thoughtful vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking, aiming to preserve the character of the site and the natural expression of Gamay. The 2022 vintage is likely crafted with careful harvesting and gentle vinification to keep the wine precise and balanced.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast chicken, grilled salmon, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or a simple selection of aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled at around 14–16°C to highlight its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help the wine open up if enjoyed young.

Producer
Lafarge-Vial is a respected producer with strong ties to Burgundy and a reputation for transparent, terroir-focused wines. The estate is associated with a precise, artisanal approach that has earned it recognition among enthusiasts seeking authentic expressions of place. Its work in Beaujolais and Burgundy reflects a broader commitment to elegant, age-worthy wines made with care and restraint.
