Chateau des Tours Vieilles Vignes Brouilly 2015

Brouilly, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceJuicy, quenching red currant, wild raspberry and dried strawberry bristles with acidity and potent finely textured minerality in this old vine Brouilly, with vine age averaging 60 years. Tannins are taut and grippy/gritty through to the lingering cherry and dried floral finish. The frame is narrow, but intense, stuffing all of the hot 2015's 14.5 percent alcohol into a sleek frame. This is from mid slope, broken granite and skinny sandy soils, farmed sustainably and partially fermented in old oak for up to ten months. #GoGamayGo.Tasted: 14 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
