The wine region of Côte de Brouilly
Beaujolais cru on the slopes of Mont Brouilly, ~320 ha of Gamay on blue volcanic schists (diorite). Reds fleshier and more structured than Brouilly with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, violet, peony, hot-stone minerality and spice touch, fine tannins and deep palate — aerial finesse of the cru. "Grand Beaujolais" style of medium aging, to drink with roasted poultry and stews. Deep ruby robe, expression of the volcanic terroir.
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: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
