Côte De Brouilly

A beaujolais with the structure to age for a few years. Notes of cranberry, and earthy with fresh acidity.

Region: Beaujolais
Grapes: Gamay
Maturation: Oak
Alcohol: 13.5%

KL Wines writes: One of the region’s great examples of Gamay’s more structured, noble, and earthy side is Château Thivin’s Côte de Brouilly. Originating along the steep slopes of Mont Brouilly in an incredibly unique soil of pierre bleue—a strikingly blue volcanic stone—this flinty red vividly evokes the mountain’s special terroir. Notes of brambly fruit, pomegranate, and spice dance atop a minerally foundation, making for a wine that exudes both the convivial charm of Gamay and the crunchy intensity of the Côte de Brouilly.
