Chiroubles, Domaine Lafarge Vial 2023

The 2023 Chiroubles, which is fully destemmed, has a fresh blackcurrant- and Morello cherry-scented bouquet. The palate is sweet and ripe on the entry with candied red fruit, crisp acidity and a harmonious, silky smooth finish. This is drinking perfectly now but will give several years' drinking pleasure.

The 2023 Chiroubles presents a vibrant medley of raspberries, blueberries and delicate hints of fresh-cut lilac and violet petals. Airy and round, this stands out as the most approachable of the lineup; the wine keeps you going back for more, particularly with its refreshingly salty finish.
