Brouilly

France
Gamay

The vines for this red wine from Beaujolais (France) grow on blue granite terroir Mont Brouilly. The rock has remained in its purest form. Our vineyard hides in a south-southeast facing dell that is bathed in sunshine from rise to set. It is sheltered from the north wind by a little deciduous wood. A spring wells up mid-slope and trickles down to the valley bed. The grapes are picked at peak ripeness and vinified using the Burgundian method with manual punching down and wild yeasts. This wine boasts intense fruit with lovely concentration and gentle tannins.
