100% destemmed and vinified using the estate's Zen method (vinification without sulphur and a small addition of SO2 at bottling), this Brouilly from the Bret brothers is fresh and intensely fruity.
From the beautiful 2023 vintage, this cuvée is rich and delicious while retaining great freshness on the palate and a lovely tension on the finish. A very lovely, charming and delicious Brouilly!
From the Vineyard:
This is the southernmost cru of Beaujolais. Since more than 50% of the clay-limestone plot of "La Pilonière" (Brouilly 2018) was frozen in 2019, we blended it with a second one on blue schist. This is the only red cuvée that we vinify 100% destemmed, but always in the "Zen" version, that is, without sulfur during vinification. Only at bottling will we add a little sulfites.
Vineyard: 0.7 hectares at an altitude of 220 metres. Clay-limestone soils.
Vinification and Ageing: fermented with 50% whole clusters and aged in 228-liter barrels that are at least seven years old
