Guy's Cote de Brouilly is uniquely approachable for a wine from this region which is known for elevated tannins. Part of this softness Kermit Lynch indicates is from an early harvest, cool fermentations, shorter maceration, and neutral oak aging. Grapes picked here are from 60year old vines on Granite soil.
A relatively new addition to Guy Breton's Beaujolais lineup, this exuberant Côte de Brouilly is flat-out delicious, evoking blue and black fruit and packing lots of mouthwatering acidity. Compared to Guy's benchmark cuvée, the Morgon, this wine shows the dark fruit and firm structure typical of the Côte de Brouilly.
