Preface
Les Cardinaux nord Cote de Brouilly Gamay
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This also says “Lieu-dit Les Berthaidieres.” Whatever it is, it is very good stuff. Nose has crushed granite, tangy dark cherry, and a sachet of almost holiday-esque spices. Intensely flavored on the palate, with zingy acids. Tangy cherries and stony minerals. Some very soft tannin. Damn nice for this Bojo aficionado.
Listening to Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris.

100% Gamay from the lieu-dit “Les Berthaudieres” in Brouilly, the southernmost and most extensive of the Beaujolais crus. Aged in concrete and barrels. Super smoky on the nose (smells like mezcal!). Elegant, savory, crunchy red fruit. Unusual, very interesting bojo.
