Alongside Laurent Martray' s own vineyards, he also works in partnership with Jean-Marie Demontaix on these Mas de Bagnols vines, superbly situated in a cirque at an altitude of 400m and perfectly south-facing. This Coeur de Fruit is a fine Brouilly cuvée, with a gourmet, mineral character and the small, tight tannins characteristic of the appellation, as well as aromas of fresh fruit, cherries and fine peppery notes...

About the domain :

With his perfect mastery of vinification, his wines are full-bodied, generous and well-balanced. Beaujolais sparkles with life, crispness and invigorating freshness.
