James Suckling 93
Stunningly pure ripe-cherry aromas pour from the glass of this rich and refined Brouilly, in which the full, supple tannins are already beautifully integrated. The long, creamy and silky finish makes this hard to resist right now.

Technical Details
Description
Taking over the business from his grandfather in 1986, Gilles & Annie Copéret have expanded across several prestigious Cru's in Beaujolais, most recently with the acquisition of 6 acres on the hill of La Madone in Fleurie. All the grapes are hand harvested and the vineyards have a Terra Vitis sustainability certification.
Tasting notes
The Sauburins vineyard is planted to 50 year old vines that are planted in deep granite soil steep slopes facing Mont Brouilly. The grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch macerated and aged 10 months in concrete vats. This cuvée gives an intense ruby red color with purple/blue tints. The mouthfeel is seductive and flavorful with a lovely black and red berry fruit feel , the tannins are noticeable yet elegant. Ideal as a partner to white meat and light appetizers.
