About the wine

Michel Lafarge, a sounding name and a tall figure, Burgundy connoisseurs snap their tongues, yet barely available and known in Switzerland so far. A few years ago, son Frédéric Lafarge and his wife Chantal (née Vial) founded Domaine Lafarge-Vial in Beaujolais, excellent terroirs, very old vines. They remain true to themselves, biodynamic farming (not yet certified), classic work in the cellar, everything here is handmade, the steep slopes are farmed with the help of horses and the wines make you sit up and take notice even in the first two vintages, wonderful fresh, precise, mineral wines that express their terroir unadulterated. Anyone who only tastes these wines will never understand where the dubious reputation of Beaujolais comes from.
