Domaine Lafarge Vial
ドメーヌ・ラファルジュ・ヴィアル
Burgundian precision meets the unique terroir of Beaujolais.
Domaine Lafarge Vial was established in 2014 by Frédéric and Chantal Lafarge, the renowned figures behind Volnay's Domaine Michel Lafarge. Seeking new challenges in the Beaujolais region, they acquired exceptional vineyard plots in Fleurie, Chiroubles, and Côte de Brouilly. The estate is managed with a strict commitment to biodynamic farming, reflecting the same meticulous philosophy applied in Burgundy. Their wines are celebrated for their elegance, purity of fruit, and profound terroir expression, elevating the perception of Gamay to a level comparable to fine Pinot Noir.
