Brouilly

Brouilly is the largest and furthest south of the Beaujolais crus. It has a good south eastern exposure, at the bottom of the Saône Valley at an altitude of 200 to 300 metres. The subsoil consists of granite debris and blue-tinged schist. This also ranked the full ‘5 stars’ in my abbreviated-for-iPad rating system! Immediately exuberant, with a diverse array of floral notes, there’s also some white pepper and crushed cherry notes. Gamay varietal by Dominique Piron.
