91 Points Vinous
The 2023 Brouilly comes from 80- to 90-year-old vines on pure granite soils. It aged primarily in used oak with the rest in tank. This has an elegant bouquet, mixing very well-defined honts of pure red fruit, crushed stone and bergamont tea. The palate is framed by fine tannins, a keen line of acidity and sapidity. It's fresh and vibrant with a dash of black pepper on the aftertaste.
