"Nearly 8 hectares of decomposed granite soil were used to produce this magnificent vintage, which has all the qualities of a remarkable Brouilly: length, balance, intensity, tannic structure enhanced by a beautiful and complex aromatic expression... A success that is all the more commendable given that the 2023 vintage was not an easy one. Thomas and Pierre Laforest have mastered carbonic maceration with inspiration." (Guide Hachette 2025)

About the estate:
A winemaker like his father and grandfather, Jean-Marc Laforest took over the reins in 1973 of an estate that now covers 20 hectares. His two sons, Thomas and Pierre, took over in 2016. The estate produces Brouilly, Côte-de-Brouilly, and Régnié wines, as well as Beaujolais-Villages.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 10/27/2025
Despite a warm 2023 vintage, Laforest has produced a stunning Brouilly with fragrant, mineral freshness and lively, expressive aromas of red berries (raspberry, cherry), framed by supple, silky tannins. Medium length. Also recommended in terms of price. Enjoy with slices of creamy traditional pork rillettes or a creamy parmesan risotto garnished with thinly sliced Culatello di Zibello. Rating = 4.

Note and opinion by Mr. VINCENT C. Published on 03/26/2025
Revision of the rating made earlier in the winter, we enjoyed it on Sunday after decanting it for a good hour. It's also a shame that we can't give more nuanced ratings, such as 3.5 glasses instead of 4, but that's just a detail to improve the average rating.

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 11/08/2024
Medium-deep ruby color with purple at the core and still at the rim. Quite a strong color. On the nose, a hint of red fruit and earthiness. Modest or still a little closed? Light carbonic maceration aromas. On the palate, a small explosion of crisp and juicy red berry fruit, immediate grip and tension, a hint of bay leaf, fine acidity, substance, beautiful tannin structure, and then again those red berries and raspberry acidity. Character, depth, and length. I understand the 3 stars from Guide Hachette. Good PQR. Score: 16/20
