Description of the product
1927 is the year in which the Fleurie wine growers came together and sold their Beaujolais grapes collectively for the first time. Granitic sand, siliceous-clay and clay-limestone alluvium. 100% Gamay
Brouilly is the most southern of all the Cru and just a little bit more Mediterranean with slightly warmer temperatures. The soil here is unique: a blue/black volcanic rock called Diorite that is known as cornes vertes or “green horns.”
Beaujolais is the name of a little wine region in France just south of Burgundy that makes red wine with Gamay grapes. There’s mostly granite and schist (decomposed rock) to the North and clay-based soils (marl) to the South. All of the 10 Beaujolais Cru vineyards are located on the Northern side of Beaujolais. Each Beaujolais cru has its own distinct personality – climate, soils, altitude, aspect, and a host of other factors – that are duplicated nowhere else. These wines are more complex and are known to age well.
