Discovering the wine region of Brouilly

Brouilly is an appellation for red wines produced from Vineyards in north-central Beaujolais. The lower slopes of Mont Brouilly and the surrounding countryside contain large plantings of the Gamay Grape. The wines produced here are relatively robust and Full-bodied, in contrast to the light, fresh wines of Beaujolais Nouveau. The wines are fruitier than many of the other Beaujolais crus, with plum and berry flavors overpowering the traditional Floral">floralCharacter of Gamay.

The appellation was officially delimited along with most other Beaujolais crus in the 1930s. While the appellation applies only to red wines, the white varieties Chardonnay, Aligoté and Melon de Bourgogne can account for 15% of the vineyard area. They are also authorised as a minor component of the blend in Brouilly wines. The Brouilly wine area covers six communes around Mont Brouilly, none of which bears the name Brouilly, which is unusual for a Beaujolais cru.

Discover the grape variety: Jacquez

A natural French-American ternary hybrid that most certainly comes from an interspecific crossing between an unknown Vinifera with Vitis Aestivalis and Vitis Cinerea. The Jacquez was at the time the most multiplied in the World, present since always in the Portuguese island of Madeira. For a long time used as a direct producer, it was even used as a rootstock in the south of France, in the United States, in Mexico and in South Africa: some vines grafted on Jacquez still exist today. In France, it is one of the six hybrids prohibited since 1935 (included in European regulations): Clinton, Herbemont, Isabelle, Jacquez, Noah and Othello.
