2019 Côte de Brouilly Lafarge Vial, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2019 Côte de Brouilly, Lafarge Vial

The 2019 Côte de Brouilly unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, warm spices, loamy soil and potpourri. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and tightly wound, with bright acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. True to the Lafarge style, this is a classically balanced, age-worthy rendition of the appellation. - William Kelley, Aug 2021

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2019 Côte de Brouilly, Lafarge Vial

A more restrained nose features notes of ripe cherry, dark raspberry and subtle earth and spice wisps with a floral top note. There is more size, weight and power to the bigger-bodied flavors that culminate in a dusty, serious and manifestly built-to-age finale that exhibits excellent persistence. This too is terrific and worth your interest. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2021
