Stephane Aviron Cote de Brouilly

Historically, Beaujolais has been considered ‘poor man’s Burgundy’. Stephane Aviron has reversed the trend by focusing on some of the top villages and very unique sites. This example stems from one of the 10 Crus of Beaujolais known as Cote de Brouilly. Made from 100% Gamay, it carries reductive dried sage and leafy tea on the nose. On the palate the wine reveals more predictable plum, boysenberry and elderberry that cavort on a polished, juicy finish with a touch of leather.
