Cuvée Godefroy Côte de Brouilly Gamay

Gorgeous Godefroy. Deep and ripe nose of pungent black and red cherries. Gorgeous leather and such amazing clarity and depth. Almost blackberry fruit. Palate has terrific flavor intensity. Wow, so ripe, so concentrated yet so fresh and the minerals wash the palate on the finish. Awesome. Really an epic young Godefroy. Unreal purity and length. This is as good as the 14. Maybe better. We will see with air and a day or two.

I was worried this would be too closed, but with a 4 hour decant, this is really a marvelous wine. So much depth and complexity, great dark berry fruit, with wonderful freshness that goes on and on with the long finish. Excited to see how this evolves over the coming years but don’t at all regret opening one now - just delicious. Really impressed.
