Grande Mises Cote De Brouilly
The appellation “Côte-de-Brouilly” was first authorized in 1934 with the vineyard owners on the Brouilly hillside concerned that the wine would lose its identity with the recent extension of the “Broully” appellation. Côte-deBrouilly is considered richer and more structured in style than Brouilly.
Wine Production
Burgundy-style vinification: The grapes were not destemmed before being placed in a concrete vat by gravity.
Maceration for around 15 days with frequent over-pumping. The temperature was maintained at 28°C. (82,4°F.), to extract the color and the fruit, for the necessary suppleness and sweetness to counter-balance the very mineral terroir.
The wine was then matured and aged in vat on fine lies.
Tasting Notes
Deep purple. Aromas show pleasant spices and small fruits such as blackcurrant and blueberry. The mouth, dominated by ripe black fruits aromas, reveals a nice balance and silky tannins. Rich and generous with an impressive long finish.
Food Pairing
A good match with old-fashioned chicken-liver gateau or meat/poultry dishes in sauce, such as duck magrets, or with goat cheese.

About the Vineyard
The appellation “Côte-de-Brouilly” was first authorized in 1934 with the vineyard owners on the Brouilly hillside concerned that the wine would lose its identity with the recent extension of the “Broully” appellation.

The vineyard, situated totally on the steep slopes of Mount Brouilly is at 400 metres and faces South- West.
It is on granite and very hard schist, of blue color referred to ask “diorites”.
Mount Brouilly is a former volcano dating back to the Primary era.
Plots: From a selected vineyard situated at the base of the steep Mont Brouilly slopes, with a rigorous selection on the property of the partner-grower.
The vineyard faces East but benefits from fine sunshine thanks to the rounded hillside.
