The wine region of Brouilly
Largest Beaujolais cru (1,300 ha) fanning out at the foot of Mont Brouilly (UNESCO Geopark). Signature Gamay noir: fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, peony and a mineral touch, supple tannins and a moreish palate — the most convivial expression of Beaujolais, to drink young. Diverse soils: pink granite, blue limestone stones, marls and alluvium. To be distinguished from Côte de Brouilly on the slopes of the Mont.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
