Pierre Cotton
AOP Brouilly Gamay
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
If you don’t already love Gamay this here will definitely solve that problem for you. A dark cherry plum color in the glass. We have to talk about this nose just a little bit here because that’s right, there’s a bit of manure going on. Not much and it is ultimately quite pleasant. Raspberry jam and blueberry cobbler wafts from the glass along with some mild spice. Smoke and herbs are just lovely here, as well.
This is such a great representation of what Beaujolais is, especially for the uninitiated. Not necessarily a big wine but not understated either. Really nice minerality. The funk is here and it’s not going anywhere. It’s so damn good and exactly what I want from one of these. Everything with this wine is exactly how it should be. Just go buy it. Trust me on that, it’s fantastic.

Pierre Cotton is one of the new generation of talent from Beaujolais and comes from a family with lots of winemaking history in the region. His Brouilly sits comfortably between equal parts earth and fruit. Like much of Brouilly, his cuvée is very cool with a plush, soft texture and absent tannins. Aromas here are generous with bing cherry, raspberry, banana, clove, and earth. So good.

Nice, simple, maybe a bit underwhelming for the price, but a nice wine.
