This is a wine with typical French charm. Brouilly is the southernmost of the Beaujolais crus, stretching out at the foot of Mont Brouilly and overlooked by the church "Notre-Dame aux Raisins" - Our Lady of the Grapes - which watches over the harvest.

This is a fruity wine which is destined to be enjoyed whilst still in its youth. It has a wonderfully expressive ruby colour in the glass. On the nose it bursts with bright red berry aromas. On the palette it has flavours of plum and small red fruit. There's an alluring spiciness too and some nuanced mineral notes.

It's the perfect, playful, expression of the gamay grape.

Louis Père et Fils

After 160 years, Louis Père & Fils continues to blend innovation and tradition to produce extraordinary wines from three of the world’s most illustrious terroirs.

The house’s eponymous founder, Evgueni Louis Max, hailed from Georgia, which many believe is the birthplace of winemaking. He inherited his passion from his father, a wine merchant who had been a soldier in Tsar Alexander I’s army.

Gamay

Gamay is a thin, delicate purple-black skinned grape which is cylindrical and compact, surrounded by flat, fairly even-edged leaves.

Although granite soils seem to be its soil of choice, the variety is good at adapting. Half of the 30,000 hectares of Gamay planted worldwide are in the Beaujolais region of France, where it covers 98% of the areas that produce Beaujolais wine.

Beaujolais, France

The hilly Beaujolais vineyards stretch out from north to south over 55km, bordered to the west by the Massif Central, and to the east by the Saone river.

Beaujolais vineyards are emblematic in the French national landscape, but are still teeming with secrets to be unearthed. The region has a constent sense of welcome and sharing. Sculpted over centuries it is personified by its 12 AOCs.
