project.
Brouilly Lieu-dit Pierreux 2022 is produced
in limited quantities (6,608 bottles) and
sold on allocation.
This high lineage wine is produced from
two remarkable and complementary
plots, with soils that impart structure,
volume on the palate, minerality and
floral and spicy aromas to the Gamay.
• A plot on the south-facing slope of
Pierreux. The vines thrive on volcanic
bluestone and deep schist soils.
• A parcel on the eastern plateau with
siliceous volcanic rocks of varying
depths.
This diversity of terroirs produces an
elegant, powerful ruby-red wine with
hints of purple, and a black cherry
and blueberry nose with subtle spices.
