2002 Vintage : A vintage to be discovered now
!
Its
robe shows a beautiful ruby red colour, deep bit by no means dull,
a major sign of a good balance. Its nose is both very natural, and
delicate, revealing a note of cherries, typical of the Cru de Brouilly.
Its tannins are tight : you may keep this wine a few years.
The first tasting touch is round and greasy showing a rich structure.
The taste has not yet achieved its final lenght but 9 months spent
in our large French oak barrels enabled this vintage to develop
its strong character.
2003 Vintage : A fascinating vintage, bliss
to be shared with friends… !
2003
will remain in all vignerons'memories as an extreme year. The vines
were submitted to all whims of the weather : frost, damages due
to wind- and hail- storms. Then, as if Nature was wanting to compensated
all these griefs, the sun shone, hot and lon-lasting : DOG-DAYS.
The result : an exceptional quality and a very small crop (-40%),
very early wine-harvest (12th August). According to the Elder ones,
the last vintage of the kind was in 1822. The grapes are prodigiously
ripe and full of sugar (12° to 14° in average). The flavours are
very concentrated and powerful, mainly cristallized cherries. A
true aroma paradise…. .
