Still from a living soil, this time on a volcanic terroir called Pierre Bleue de Brouilly, this Côte de Brouilly captivates with its dark color and intense notes of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant and spices. The freshness and minerality of the terroir combine to give maturity, depth, texture, balance and length to this great Beaujolais wine.
