Appellation

Brouilly is the northern most Cru of Beaujolais, it is also one of the most famous and largest. The vines are planted on steep slopes. From a distance, Mont Brouilly looks like a volcano. There is a small chapel at the top built in 1857 to place the vineyard under the protection of the Virgin Mary.
