Rotwein 12.50 %

Dieser Wein stammt von 45-65 jährigen Reben aus den Lagen Bel Air und Joie du Palais. Edler Duft mit intensiver Aromatik. Zeigt 2017 zwar nicht den Umfang und die 1. Cru-Tiefe wie gewohnt, ist aber dafür der trinkreifste Wein der Domaine Lafarge Vial und bietet schon jetzt ein feines Vergnügen. "The Lafarge family’s two parcels of Bel Air and la Joie du Palais were both badly hailed upon in 2017, so the couple decided to just blend the small remaining production from both climats and make a straight Fleurie bottling in this vintage. The wine is not too bad, given how hard they were hit, but a bit delicate in style and lacking the customary mid-palate depth of the family’s bottlings of Fleurie. The bouquet is a red fruity mix of strawberries, cranberries, a touch of orange peel, a hint of pepper, good minerality and a touch of white pepper in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, transparent and bright, with good length and complexity, modest depth and sneaky length on the bouncy finish. This has turned out pretty well, considering the challenges, but the scars of the growing season are also evident (though no signs of overt hail taint). (Drink between 2019-2023) 88." John Gilman.
