Description
- The name and reputation enjoyed by Brouilly, a Cru of Beaujolais, is a fairly recent phenomenon. The Brouilly is produced from grapes grown on the ideally situated southerly facing, pink granite slopes which gain maximum exposure to the sun's warming rays. As a result, the Gamay fruit produced here reaches maximum ripeness. Once harvested by hand, the fruit is fermented in whole bunches of grapes in open vats. Brouilly is a soft, perfumed wine, which marries tenderness with richness.
Vinification & Ageing
- FermentationTraditional in open vats.
- Ageing8 to 10 months ageing in stainless steel vats.

Press review
- Brouilly 2024 - Burghound.com (USA) - 89/100 "Top Value"The expressive nose is compositionally similar to that of the Régnié but still manages to be slightly more elegant. The finer, if a bit less concentrated, flavors possess a sleek and attractively vibrant mouthfeel while exhibiting equally good depth and persistence on the mildly austere finale. This is also a quality effort and should make for inexpensive but good drinking over the short to mid-term. 2029+ (April 2026)
