Wine:
Another success by Laurent Martray! The 2016 Red Vieilles Vignes Côte de Brouilly is a sapid, joyful red, with a very fine texture, sailing pleasantly between aromas of morello cherry and small red fruits. This is a Gamay that will, with time, take on Burgundian accents, especially in this cool, tense vintage, which offers a pleasing prospect! Serve it slightly chilled, paired with veal or beef, or simply with a snack and some artisanal charcuterie. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.Vinification:
Hand harvested, vinification from 14 to 16 days, for 50% of the harvest in whole bunches, with a semi-carbonic maceration. Aged in tuns and barrels.Color:

Fresh and crisp on a dapper fruit. Let yourself be charmed by this sapidity and finesse, which with time, will remind you of a Burgundy wine.
