Côte de Brouilly Gamay
A good reminder of why I love Brouilly. A serious wine for a nice evening of star gazing in the mountains. Great crushed scents of muddled cinnamon and dried cherries. Earthy tones with a backbone and a funkiness without too much stench. Clean, tight, but refreshing and alive.

Aug 5th, 2018Crushed black cherries, flowers, cinnamon and clove, ferns and mushrooms, minerals. Great perfume. Palate is showing some leanness and focused acidity. Tannins are present but very fine and soft. Really opened up with some air. Great expression of gamay

Unfiltered and shimmering neon red! Wild, expressive and lean without the austerity. Very nice and fresh. Very natural tasting

Dec 8th, 2016From last night. Earthy and savory. Wanted a bit more acid and some fruit. Backed with nuance, it kept changing throughout the night. #gamay #bojo #Beaujolais #wine
