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.
