Beaujolais Gamay of precision and mineral depth from Fleurie and Côte de Brouilly.

Domaine Lafarge Vial produces Gamay-based wines from Beaujolais, the French region celebrated for its bright, fruit-forward reds. The domaine's portfolio centers on two Fleurie cuvées—Clos Vernay and Joie du Palais—alongside Côte de Brouilly, each capturing the mineral precision and silky tannins characteristic of Beaujolais's finest terroirs. Fleurie Clos Vernay, the flagship expression, demonstrates the depth and structure that Gamay achieves in this appellation's granite-rich soils. Joie du Palais offers a complementary profile within the same cru, while Côte de Brouilly, from the region's steeper slopes, brings additional complexity. The wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator, reflecting their standing among serious collectors and critics. Domaine Lafarge Vial's releases represent the modern expression of Beaujolais winemaking—elegant, precise, and rooted in the region's volcanic geology.
