Côte de Brouilly Gamay
Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This was the more serious and structured, and in my opinion, the more complete wine vs the Chiroubles

Shimmering violet. High-pitched red and blue fruit, violet and exotic spice scents are complemented by a floral nuance and a building mineral overtone. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering sappy raspberry, boysenberry, allspice and candied rhubarb flavors and a deeper licorice note on the back half. Closes long and precise, showing subtle tannic grip and repeating floral and mineral qualities. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2021)

I’m sure it is very good, but it is just not my jam.

So solid. Much there to dig into if you want, but also happy to be the smiling introvert at the party.

Raspberry is maybe the least interesting note - about as exciting as yellow birthday cake. This is good raspberry flavored wine, but raspberries can't ever be what, strawberry, cherry, violets, leather, coffee, cedar, vanilla can be. Apparently the raspberry situation ran rampant in Beaujolais in 2016.
This, in spite of the environment, is well constructed with the right levels of ripeness in good balance. Has some interesting stemmy flavors and a plush silky texture, salinity on the back.
If all we had in Beaujolais in 2016 is raspberries, Breton made raspberry-ade. The best with what he had.

What it’s all about. Juicy, bright, cloudy, translucent. Tough to beat.

Nice selection from Guy Breton...new wine decanter.. why not! Unfortunately I had my favorite decanter slip through my fingers! 🙄
Tastes of under ripe raspberries ..forest floor and Bazooka bubble gum!
