Tasting notes
Symbol of a time when the arts of the Kingdom of France were at their peak, this wine "Les Deux Amis" refers to the fable of Jean de La Fontaine, contemporary of the founder of the Château: Jean François de La Chaize d'Aix.
Commented by Olivier Poussier:
Color : A beautiful dark ruby color
Nose : The nose is open on a typical Gamay fruit, cherry, raspberry. The whole reveals itself easily on a slightly sweet fruity tone. I think the wine is undergoing a bit of solar maturity.
Palate : La bouche possède plus de sapidité, le cœur de bouche est de demi-puissance. Le relief tannique est fin et le vin possède le caractère coulant et digeste des terroirs légers. C’est une cuvée qui sera prête à boire dans sa jeunesse, elle est gouleyante et facile de compréhension.
Service temperature : 57°F

James Suckling : "A fragrant and delightful Brouilly that's juicy and subtle. Elegant, medium-bodied palate. Lively acidity and soft tannins for the 2022 vintage. The aromas and the balance are fantastic"
