2019 Fleurie, Joie du Palais, Domaine Lafarge Vial, Beaujolais

This is an exceptionally steep vineyard of 65-year-old vines; half is on a 40-degree slope, which horses must plough. One-third of the grapes were manually destemmed. The nose is pure and ethereal, with a stony freshness and vibrant raspberry fruit. The palate offers a beautiful concentration of rich redcurrant fruit wrapped in noble tannins.
