Description

Bonnet Cotton Brouilly "Bonnege" 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gamay from the Cote de Brouilly, Regnie, in Beaujolais, France. 65-year-old vines on pink granite produce the fruit for this remarkable cuvee from Marine Bonnet and Pierre Cotton.

Taste Profile: Medium acid wine, cloudy ruby colour with red and black fruits with a medium body and tannins. Aromas of stewed strawberries, cooked rhubarb, old leather and gravel. Delicious.

Winemaking Process: Spontaneous semi carbonic in concrete vats, then 8 months in large old foudres

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
