About this winery

Using a parcel-by-parcel approach, the estate has 23 cadastral parcels, spread across the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations, and each parcel is vinified and aged separately to reveal its character and uniqueness.

Magnificent steep hillside behind the château, planted with Gamay. The soil is made of porphyritic granite, which lends elegance and length to the wines produced on this terroir, in the heart of the Brouilly appellation.

Tasting notes

A lovely deep ruby ​​color. The nose is defined by ripe fruit, where black cherry combines with the peppery notes of Gamay and the graphite dimension of granite. The wine register is accomplished, underscored by a delicately patinated oak. The palate displays quality body with diffuse power. The tannic support is delicate, and the fine oak structure the finish. The overall effect is full and fleshy, while maintaining a sense of balance. This is a substantial wine capable of aging well. Pair with Veal Blanquette with Bacon

James Suckling, June 2024 (Vintage 2022)

Needs a moment in the glass for the forest-berry aromas to open up. Very minerally and smoky with plenty of forest-floor character. Stunning concentration and great elegance right through the extremely long and finely etched finish. Difficult to pull yourself away from this remarkable Brouilly. That this is only medium-bodied actually increases its appeal. Just a hint of blood oranges in the finish magnifies its freshness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
