[SOLD-OUT] Dominique Piron Brouilly 2015

Wine Front 92 points!
“Pretty, perfumed with a suggestion of bubble gum, flowers, spice, aniseed, and cherries.  Light, supple, fine grained tannin, juiciness of cherry/raspberry fruit, light pippy tang of acidity, fresh and spiced to close. Love that little slurry of tannin on the finish. Good Beaujolais really delivers so much drinking pleasure.”
Gary Walsh, Wine Front, January 2017

Brouilly is the largest and furthest south of the Beaujolais crus. It has a good south eastern exposure, at the bottom of the Saône Valley at an altitude of 200 to 300 metres. The subsoil consists of granite debris and blue-tinged schist. Almost quite dark and serious-looking for Brouilly at first sniff but blue flowers, cherry fruit, kirsch, cinnamon, clove are all there, too. Some tannin from the outset, with structure to a very vivid, supple red-fruit pulp feel. Bit of grip. Acidity is good, structure neat and overall picture is vibrant and easy. So much great-value drinking in this.
