Tasting Notes

WA92–94
The 2014 Brouilly Cuvée des Fous is made from 100% de-stemmed grapes from the oldest vines the domaine planted in 1900. It has a more introspective bouquet compared to the Côte de Brouilly, with blackberry and briary fruit, limestone and even flinty notes – a compelling set of aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin surrounded by a core of very pure dark berry fruit. The symmetry here is compelling, and its superb length feels both harmonious and full of tension. This is just a fabulous Brouilly from Jean-Claude.
