2017 Lafarge-Vial Fleurie Clos Vernay
John Gilman 93 pts! Luckily for Chantal and Frédéric Lafarge, one of their three parcels of vines in Fleurie was spared from the hail in 2017, so that they were able to produce their bottling of Clos Vernay this year and the wine is an absolute beauty. The bouquet is deep, bright and classic, jumping from the glass in a mix of black and red cherries, gamebird, dark soil tones, granite, woodsmoke and espresso. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and nicely plush on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, lovely soil signature, a touch of tannin and a long, complex and tangy finish. This is fine juice. (Drink between 2019 - 2040)
