Le Pavé Côte de Brouilly Appellation - 2021

Terroir

Côte de Brouilly is one of the smallest crus in Beaujolais. The soil is made up of bluestone, considered to be one of the hardest rocks in Europe. Our vines, ideally exposed to the east, are overlooked by the chapel of Mont Brouilly, protector of the vineyard.

Viticulture

Originally, these vines were planted at a density of 10,000 vines/ha. Since our acquisition of the property, we have pulled up one row out of six to adapt these old vines to an organic and agroforestry method of cultivation, thus facilitating the work of the soil.

Vinification

The vinification is done with whole grape clusters "à la Beaujolaise" in 50hl stainless steel vats. The harvest is carefully selected on a sorting table. Cold vinification with native yeasts produces wines with a beautiful fruitiness typical of the emblematic Gamay grape.
