This 100 percent Gamay from the oldest domaine in Côte de Brouilly is powerful and packed with blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, with hints of violets, cedar, and smoke. It is medium-bodied with ample tannins and elevated by a bright acid backbone. It speaks far more of the terroir than varietal Gamay fruit. Drink now.
