Brouilly 2014

Grape Variety : Gamay

Soil : Granite

Site : One of the most famous crus of the Beaujolais. The area of production covers the communes of Odenas, Saint-Lager, Quincié, Cercié, Charentay et Saint-Etienne-La-Varenne in the Rhône département.

The Vintage 2014 : After a cool and rainy winter and a frost episode in April, the warm and dry weather in spring was perfect for the flowering. In July and August the weather was more demanding but it became fine again early September with a true Indian summer which enabled a perfect maturation for the grapes. The harvest took place mid September under a bright sunshine. The red wines give off beautiful aromas of ripe red berries with a sappy texture.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Intense aromas of cherries and red berries mixed with spicy nuances. Well-balanced, with a beautiful fruit combination. Refreshing aftertaste.

Food pairing : Cooked pork meat "charcuterie", barbecue and all sorts of mild cheeses.
