Domaine Alain Michaud
Brouilly Gamay
Always find Michaud’s wines to be so mineral, almost driving the wines. This is no different. Fresh earth and crushed rocks dominate, framed by tart red berries, wild flowers, fern, herbs. Fruit is definitely beginning to become cohesive, and its gout de terroir and taking over.

Mar 8th, 2016Chilled it down a bit to bring out more acidity and allow fruit to come forth in glass.
