Wine AdvocateThe 2014 Brouilly Cuvee Vieilles Vignes, which undergoes exactly the same vinification as the Beaujolais Villages, has a wonderful nose of blackberry, briary wild hedgerow and hints of dried violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit mixed with licorice on the entry. There are fine tannins underpinning this Brouily, and though it feels a little clammed up on the finish so close to bottling, it is very elegant and composed.
Winter Cru Beaujolais recommendations
Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon 2016
Planted on these poor, acidic soils, Gamay expresses notes of violet and aromas of black cherries. Morgon develops deeper notes after some years approaching its cousin pinot.
