Vineyard
Site: the northernmost Cru of Beaujolais, Brouilly is also one of the most famous and largest. The vines are planted on steep slopes.
History & Tradition: from a distance, Mont Brouilly looks like a volcano. There is a small chapel at the top. It was built in 1857 to place the vineyard under the protection of the Virgin Mary.
Soil: varied, from granite to alluvial sediment.

Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
An elegant Beaujolais: intense ruby-red colour; on the nose, aromas of violet, lilac, sometimes blackberry and cranberry. Supple tannins, with lively acidity. On the palate, the wine leaves a pleasant note of wild berries.
Vintage
2022 provided Beaujolais wines with a wide variety of profiles: full-bodied and structured wines with a deep colour, typical wines for cellaring, but also fleshy wines pleasant to drink.
