The most southerly of all the crus, Brouilly has good color, backbone and is full-bodied revealing aromas of plums and peaches. The 5.5 hectares Plateau de Bel Air vineyard blends into the rolling landscape of Beaujolais and faces the famous Mont Brouilly. Enjoying an ideal south exposure, the grapes reach a perfect maturity.

Estate
Since 1888 the Fessy family has been based in the heart of the Brouilly appellation of Beaujolais, France. Over the years they have purchased choice parcels of vineyards in most of the 10 Crus and the Beaujolais-Villages appellations to create the enviable domaine that we have today of nearly 70 hectares of prime vineyards. Work in our vineyards is carried out with sensitivity and intelligence and they only intervene when necessary.
This philosophy allows them to produce highly complex wines which express a real sense of place and origin. They offer the full range of Beaujolais wines from our own vineyards each expressing their own unique terroir. Experience, tradition, respect and an in-depth knowledge of the Beaujolais vineyards go hand in hand-making Henry Fessy a respected quality-driven Domaine.
