Vieilles Vignes Brouilly Gamay

Brouilly, to me, is the fruitiest of the crus, and this is fruit in spades. So tangy and fruity. A bit of barnyard funk on the nose adds complexity. Very zingy and fruity in the mouth. Downright tangy!

UPDATE: After a couple hours of air, this is getting funkier and funkier. Clearly a low- or no-sulfite wine. I Vacuvin-ed a bit to see whether it will even be drinkable on night 2. My guess is it won’t be. (Further update: it was still good but it became clear to me that the funkiness was I was getting on night one was actually brett, which was somehow easier for me to identify the next night.)

Great Brouilly - lively and bright on the entry, smooth and silky from there leaving beautiful soft red berry notes and a tangy freshness in its path. Nice!

Bright, juicy and floral. A bit of CO2. Just very much lacking depth and complexity.

Incredibly bright, super fresh and juicy. Electric. Bojo at its best

Bright, fruity and floral. Good tannic pull. Liked it very much.

The middle of this wine is the part to catch. It starts fast with fresh, tasty red fruit & ends on a dry acidic lingering note which makes you want to dive back in quickly. The middle with all the nuance is the slower part & draws you all the way in. Like the Largo in Vivaldi's Winter. Just delightful.

A little mushroom, not too bright fruit, very poundable :)

Complex red fruit, bananas, granite, whisper of oak spice, kitsch. Well made.

A little ripe and large

Less aromatic but more sense than the cote du brouilly... Still very delicious and lots of raspberry bramble freshness.
