Distributor Description
This Brouilly comes from vineyards located at the base of Mont Brouilly and is a cuvée of Domaine Blain (10%) and a parcel of 50-year-old vines from Domaine de Briante (90%). Grapes are hand-harvested and transported to Chassagne-Montrachet by refrigerated truck where they're 100% destemmed and fermented with natural yeasts in an upright wooden vat for twenty days. The wine is then aged in a concrete egg for eight months.
The northwest-facing vineyard brings a balance of sun and shade to produce grapes with fresh acidity and bright fruity flavors, while sandy clay soils provide weight and roundness. Dark fruit aromas and flavors of blueberries, blackberries, and floral notes are supported by medium weight on the palate.
