This Brouilly will seduce you with its character: in the sulfite-free version, the expression of terroir is more intense. The nose is fresh, fruity and complex. The palate is round, powerful and delicious. To fully appreciate this wine, serve without decanting. A bottle of rare nobility and great ageing potential that will surprise your friends. A real marvel!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Son and grandson of winegrowers, Franck Chavy set up in 1991 with a few hectares of Morgon. Through buyouts and sharecropping, he has expanded his estate to 9.5 ha, while at the same time making his mark in the Guide, where he is a sure bet. This success is undoubtedly due to his high vine density (10,000 vines/ha) and long maceration periods.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 03/03/2024
Unadorned, natural Brouilly, but very full-bodied (too full-bodied for a Gamay?). The tannins are firm and still prominent, masking the fruit a little at this stage at least. Plenty of substance and depth on the palate, with a slight bitterness of gentian in the background. Spicy pepper finish. Should soften and gain in roundness after a good year's cellaring. Price somewhat presumptuous in my opinion. To be aired imperatively before tasting with a roast veal casserole with melting deglazed carrots. Score = 3.6.
