Georges Descombes Brouilly Vieilles Vignes is sensational value for a Beaujolais Cru. The nose opens with violet florals, strawberry and slightly herbal notes. Light, refreshing acidity and silky tannins on the dry palate. Bright strawberry and raspberry flavours mingle around a mineral pillar and hints of blackberry.
100% Gamay. The fruit for this wine comes from old vines in a 3.5 hectare vineyard on steep slopes in Brouilly, organic farming.
Carbonic maceration with whole clusters then a slow vertical press to finish the fermentation. Ageing in old wooden casks. No additives, a small addition of SO2 before bottling.
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
Carbonic maceration is a form of whole bunch fermentation, when whole bunches of uncrushed grapes ferment from the inside out. It traditionally requires an environment full of CO2, some winemakers allow a percentage of crushed grapes to ferment & release the CO2.
While a natural process, it has been adopted as a stylistic choice to make wines fruiter & soften their tannins

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
