Tasting notes
Commented on by Olivier Poussier in Spring 2025:
Color : A dark ruby with lighter highlights.
Nose : The nose is open, combining notes of black fruits and Burlat cherries. The aromatic ripeness is more pronounced, yet remains well-balanced by the graphite character of the granite soil.
Palate : The palate is slender with a generous, rounded mid-palate. The wine shows good power without any imbalance. The overall mouthfeel is harmonious and approachable, with an aging potential of 5 to 6 years.
Service temperature : 15°C / 59°F

James Suckling: "A really great Brouilly that emphasizes the mineral and forest-floor side of the appellation. Excellent concentration but still so elegant thanks to the refined tannins that drive the very long, intense, yet delicate finish that pulls you back for more. "
