A focused, mineral-driven expression of Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most respected crus. Sourced from steep, south-facing vineyards on the slopes of Mont Brouilly, the granite-rich soils give the wine its hallmark freshness, structure and aromatic clarity.

The Fournelles family farm their vines with a strong emphasis on sustainability and low intervention, allowing the character of the site to speak clearly. The “Godefroy” cuvée comes from old vines, naturally low-yielding, and is vinified with care to preserve purity of fruit and the distinctive Côte de Brouilly tension.

In the glass, it opens with vibrant aromas of crushed raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry, underpinned by subtle floral notes and a fine mineral edge. The palate is precise and energetic, with bright red fruit, silky tannins and a savoury, lightly stony finish that sets it apart from more simple Beaujolais styles.

Food Pairings: Exceptionally versatile at the table, this wine shines alongside roast chicken, pork loin, duck, or charcuterie. It also works beautifully with mushroom dishes, lentil stews, and semi-soft cheeses such as Comté or Tomme de Savoie. Serve slightly cool to highlight its freshness and finesse.

A serious, terroir-driven Beaujolais that offers depth without heaviness — proof that Gamay, in the right hands and from the right place, can be both elegant and profound.
