Domaine Comte de Monspey
Vieilles Vignes Brouilly Gamay
This is a good value for a Cru Beaujolais- high acidity with expressive black fruit and red fruit. Soft tannins and a fine underpinning of forest floor set off raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, and blackberry. Medium finish - good with food

Sep 21st, 2021Gamay is the grape, Beaujolais region.
Beaujolais regions does carbonic maceration- whole grapes and don’t crush. Put them in a container and pump full of carbon rich environment, almost 100% of fermentation happens inside the grape vs. exterior. Less tannic.
High acid and big fruit. Can be chilled. Don’t age.

Uninspiring - slightly metallic and fairly tannic. At least it's decent with food.
