Wine Review: This clear and dark red colored Gamay from the Brouilly commune in Beaujolais opens with a violet, lingonberry, and potting soil bouquet with hints of red raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a loam and red raspberry tea blend with notes of graphite and red plum. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and dusty tannins linger and last for quite some time. I would pair this Gamay with a cedar planked salmon with soy glaze. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: This wine is the perfect example of a Brouilly, typical of the terroir and hillsides. Beautifully deep robe – the nose gives off in succession mineral, woodland, and blackberry notes. The mouth is ample, rich, of great finesse: the epitome of the best grapes harvested at their ripest. Good length on vanilla notes. A wine with a unique personality and Burgundy elegance. Pair with grilled meat and cheese.
