PLUM, SMOKEY, MEATY, PLUSH.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
There’s a smashability to this little Gamay number, that’s still very complex. The fruit is plump and plush, but the acidity is racey and the minerality is FRESH! All backed up with a stoney, floral structure. Will suit many cuisines, palates, and is right on quality for the price point.
Brouilly, the southernmost and most extensive of the Beaujolais crus, stretches out at the foot of Mont Brouilly and its chapel (Notre-Dame aux Raisins). The fruit-driven (plum, small red fruit) wines, sometimes with mineral notes, express the gamay bouquet perfectly.
The lieu-dit Pierreux within Brouilly is noted for producing wines with a darker, silkier character, often with notes of blackberry, cassis, and spice. The terroir of Pierreux is characterized by shallow, well-drained granitic and schistous soils. The area also has deposits of blue porphyry, a volcanic rock. This unique combination of soil and geological factors contributes to the distinct character of the wines produced there.
