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: Viscosity
Consistency of wine reminiscent of the tactile sensation of sugar syrup with varying degrees of fluidity, due to the alcohol and natural sugar in the grapes present in sweet wines. In excess, this sensation can make the wine pasty and heavy. To the eye, viscosity is referred to as tears.
