Côte De Brouilly Lafarge-Vial, 2023

Côte de Brouilly Lafarge-Vial 2023 is a refined expression of Beaujolais from one of Burgundy’s most respected names. Coming from the volcanic slopes of Côte de Brouilly, it offers a more structured, mineral-driven take on Gamay and reflects the estate’s quiet, thoughtful approach to classic French winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with fresh, vivid clarity. The nose leans toward ripe red berries, black cherry, violets, and a subtle stony edge, with a lifted, energetic character that keeps the wine feeling precise and inviting. On the palate, expect juicy red fruit balanced by fine tannins, lively acidity, and a distinct mineral tension that gives the wine real definition. It is approachable in its youth, but the best examples of Côte de Brouilly can also develop nicely over a few years, gaining more earthiness and spice with time.

Production
The Côte de Brouilly vineyard lies on the volcanic and blue-stone soils of Mont Brouilly, where the combination of elevation, drainage, and mineral-rich terroir helps create wines with freshness and structure. Lafarge-Vial is known for a restrained, terroir-focused approach, with careful vineyard work and gentle vinification aimed at preserving purity of fruit and the personality of the site.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast poultry, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and lighter preparations of lamb or duck. Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and consider a brief decant if opening it young to let the aromas fully unfold.

Producer
Lafarge-Vial is a respected Burgundy producer associated with the Lafarge family’s long winemaking heritage and its reputation for precision and authenticity. While better known for their work in Volnay, the estate’s Beaujolais holdings have drawn attention for showing the same commitment to site expression, balance, and elegance.
