Lafarge-Vial Fleurie Clos Vernay 2016

“The 2016 Fleurie Clos Vernay wafts from the glass with a nuanced bouquet of raspberries, wild plums, dark chocolate and loamy soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tangy and quite concentrated, framed by elegantly fine-grained tannins that nevertheless suggest this is a wine that will go the distance, much like the family’s Volnays.” – William Kelley, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
