Matured for 9 months in clay amphorae Velvety and Tenderness ...

The deep granite of the Côte de Brouilly and his amphorae's ageing bring to this wine a lot of minerality and freshness. Structured wine, however all lace, whose fruity flesh (peaches, plums) gives a lot of pleasure. Its mineral and graphite side is very seductive. Enjoy it now and in the next 5 years.

« Here’s a youthful Beaujolais with a mouthfeel like nothing else I’ve ever encountered and an intense wet stone minerality. Still quite leesy, and therefore the sour cherry fruit only emerges after some aeration in the glass. Impressive tannin structure that’s not a jot too much. Complex wild herb finish. From vines growing on volcanic soil under conversion to organic viticulture. Matured in amphora for nine months. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. »

« Eight months in amphora has given this wine that has strong minerality allied to crisp res-currant fiuitiness. It is bright with acidity that is currently muted by a dry core. The wine needs to soften, so wait until late 2021. »
Wine Enthusiast / Roger Voss

« Perfumed and structures, this wine shows a tight texture and some oxidative characteristics. With its tannins, it has aging potential, giving the bright berry fruits a chance to soften and broaden. Drink from late 2020 »
