This small-batch Brouilly leads with delicious black fruit. The wine has a nose of pencil shavings, black plum, dried mushroom, pureed raspberry and hibiscus. The palate echoes the nose but with added fruit concentration completing with a long finish.

Technical Details

Description

Taking over the business from his grandfather in 1986, Gilles & Annie Copéret have expanded across several prestigious Cru's in Beaujolais, most recently with the acquisition of 6 acres on the hill of La Madone in Fleurie. All the grapes are hand harvested and the vineyards have a Terra Vitis sustainability certification.

Tasting notes

The Sauburins vineyard is planted to 50 year old vines that are planted in deep granite soil steep slopes facing Mont Brouilly. The grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch macerated and aged 10 months in concrete vats. This cuvée gives an intense ruby red color with purple/blue tints. The mouthfeel is seductive and flavorful with a lovely black and red berry fruit feel , the tannins are noticeable yet elegant. Ideal as a partner to white meat and light appetizers.
