Domaine Laurent Martray - Brouilly - Le Coeur des Feuillées - Vieilles Vignes - Red - 2024

Wine:

The 2024 Red Brouilly Le Cœur des Feuillées Vieilles Vignes shines with a bright, luminous ruby-crimson color. The nose charms with aromas of fresh cherries lifted by a hint of cranberry and cardamom, bringing lovely freshness. On the palate, the wine is light and sapid, with a crunchy, thirst-quenching texture framed by supple tannins. Its easy drinkability is immediately appealing, a reflection of the 2024 vintage focused on indulgence and pure fruit expression. The finish, delicately marked by a touch of licorice, adds an elegant signature.
