CÔTE DE BROUILLY

This single-parcel cuvée comes from vines nestled on the western slope of Mont Brouilly.
This Côte-de-Brouilly cru stands out for the uniqueness of its soil: the parcel, with slopes ranging from moderate to steep, features a highly porous surface soil with a high sand content, encouraging deep root penetration. It is an exceptionally high-quality terroir, dominated by pink sands derived from granite. In the subsoil, weathered granite appears at a depth of 60-80 cm, and its friable nature allows roots to continue their exploration further down.

Stuart Pigott: "A very stony expression of Côte de Brouilly with excellent concentration and a linear tannin structure that drives this over the palate with serious energy. Needs some time in bottle to show its best. The ripe sour cherry and spicy aromas are fascinating, and there's great restrained power at the finish. From a corner of this appellation with granite soil and west exposure."
