Product notes
This Brouilly comes from 2 terroirs of Brouilly facing the Mont de Brouilly. On one part, the land is made up of decomposed granite and sand and gives wines that are fruity and easy to drink.

Production notes
The harvest is done manually in small crates. The grapes are sorted by hand then destemmed. Maceration takes place in open wooden and stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Pigages twice a day during fermentation. Aging for 18 months in barrels, a third of which are new.

True to the aromas, the palate expresses flavors of red fruits and its supple texture ends in a slightly sustained finish. You will appreciate it even more with an herbs roasted chicken, a country terrine or a calf's liver.
