Frédéric Lafarge and his wife Chantal established Domaine Lafarge Vial in the spring of 2014. They managed to secure several parcels of vines within Fleurie and one small adjoining parcel of Chiroubles, with buildings within the lieu-dit Bel-Air, in the commune of Fleurie. The vineyards enjoyed biodynamic viticulture from the outset, mirroring the Lafarge family’s approach in Volnay.
"This is a 0.66 hectare granite plot of 50 year old vines. The vineyard is currently in fermage (long term rent). Harvested on 30th August, the earliest plot by around four days. Sweet dark berries, with exotic spices and a dark peppery bite.
