Tasting Note:- The light fresh ruby colour, combined with an intense sumptuous Gamay nose, give this wine a distinct advantage over its competition. It's really good with the structure to match food. The ripe fruit tannins and discrete refreshing acidity, make this a wine that will also age well.
Vinification;- Traditional Beaujolais techniques.
Description;-
The name and reputation enjoyed by Brouilly is a fairly recent phenomenon. This ‘Cru’ wine is produced from grapes grown on the ideally situated southerly facing pink granite slopes which gain maximum exposure to the sun’s warming rays, as a result the Gamay fruit produced reaches maximum ripeness. Once harvested, by hand, the fruit is fermented in whole bunches of grapes in a vat covered by a blanket of carbon dioxide preventing oxygen from reaching the bunches. This traditional method tends to produce soft, perfumed wines which marry tenderness and richness allowing the wine to express the unique ‘goût de terroir’ imparted by this specific vineyard site.
