Tellement Soif - July 5th 2023
The great tasting of Antoine Gerbelle in April 2023. Our Fleurie 2021 among the favorites. "A desire for concentration, mouth strongly constituted for the year, with notes extracted from ripe but not sweet plant, close to the fibrous wood of licorice. One of the rare wines with 13%Alc./Vol of the tasting. A little unbalanced in its final by the drying of the tannins.
Les Buvologues - April 26th 2023 - The Brouillys are in the elevator !
A summer file dedicated to Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly Crus. 2021 Brouilly Tasting: "Composed of red fruits and hawthorn on the nose. A "big guy" with enough lamb’s lettuce and density to accompany red meat. A balanced and straight wine. The fruit turns black on the palate. You can feel the mastery. A complete Brouilly proving a rigorous selection of grapes."

An article that presents the aging capacity of Beaujolais wines. Here, Gilles explains that he has always tasted old vintages and that the Gamay has nothing to envy to the Pinot Noir or the grape varieties of the Rhone Valley: "You just have to know how to work them, and then, it is the paw of the winemaker that is added".
