Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
What a beast. Brooding and dark, savory. Wound up but there a deep core of crushed black brambly fruit, compote, crushed volcanic rocks, hot stones, pink peppercorn, cool licorice, juniper, fern, taffy. Needs some time just to unwind

Nov 22nd, 2019Dark fruit and a very firm structure. Should be great in a year or two. Only issue is that it lacked length. A very serious wine

Mon amour ❤️ More powerful than the Cote de Brouilly, deeper and certainly more structure. This falls perfectly in the category of "power without weight".
Fruit profile's similar to the Cote de Brouilly - a mix of red and black fruits, with a little more weight and richness. A step up in spiciness and savouriness. Clear licorice, pepper, rhubarb, and beetroot notes. Some floral elements thrown in the mix. There's a super energetic acidity and stoniness. Long, smoky finish. Could drink a lot of this now, but cellaring would benefit it heaps.
From 60 years-old vines. Warmer site than the Cote de Brouilly. Organic, vinification semi-carbonic in concrete tanks without sulfur. Corne Verte - a blend of yellow and pink granite, clay, and diorite found only in Odenas. Elevage for 11 months in used foudres and barrels. Annual production of 3,000 bottles.
