Domaine Lafarge-Vial Fleurie Joie Du Palais 2022

From 70- to 80-year-old vines, the 2022 Fleurie Joie de Palais is joyous on the nose with aromas of violets, raspberries, cherries and brown spices. Aged in 350-liter barrels and foudres, the medium-bodied wine is crafted with dusty tannins and ripe acids that imbue the silky red-fruited core with dimension, long-lasting on the palate, culminating in a mouth-watering, flavorful finish. It's a suave wine with just the right amount of grip straight out of the barrel. It will age for 15 months in 350-liter barrels and foudre, set to be a fine offering from the Lafarge-Vial team.
