Domaine Lafarge Vial Côte de Brouilly 2016
The 2016 Côte de Brouilly is a new addition to the Lafarge Vial range and it comes from a parcel just before you arrive at Château Thivin, the vines around 50 years old. It has a very serious and complex bouquet with mineral-driven dark berry fruit, perhaps more introspective compared to the Clos Vernay. The palate is very sensual and well defined with great poise, superbly structured with a succulent, fleshy finish that is very tempting. Excellent! Drink: 2018-2027 (Dec17)
