Arnaud Aucoeur

Brouilly Terre De Briante Beaujolais Gamay 2019

Vignoble Aucoeur is the oldest family domain of the Morgon village, in the heart of Beaujolais. Arnaud Aucoeur has been voted 2020 Winemaker of the Year by the famous Guide Hachette in France. To perpetuate the legacy of his ancestors, Arnaud makes some of his wines, including his famous “Moulin à vent”, in wooden containers. Barrels, tons and semi-casks are all housed on the farm. The grapes are manually-harvested from vines of about fifty years, exclusively from Gamay grapes. Located around Mont Brouilly and its pretty chapel, the Brouilly Cru is the most extended of the Beaujolais vineyards. It covers six municipalities in the southern region. The soil is rich in a granitic that it provides a balanced and complex taste. With a deep ruby color, this wine offers complex aromas of ripe red fruits and a rich tannin texture.
