Côte de Brouilly 2022

Alex Foillard

Son of Jean Foillard, Alex skillfully carries on the family philosophy while asserting his own style. Having been established for several years, he cultivates his vines with the same respect for living organisms, in pursuit of precision, pure fruit, and drinkability. His vision: natural, profound, yet always accessible Beaujolais crus.

Côte de Brouilly 2022 comes from hillside vines on the volcanic slopes of Mont Brouilly. This cuvée, with its straight and chiseled profile, accurately expresses the mineral freshness characteristic of this terroir. It is a wine of altitude and relief, taut, vibrant, and already very expressive.

On the nose, aromas of blueberry, violet, and warm stone blend elegantly. On the palate, the tension is immediate, carried by a beautiful freshness, fine tannins, and a saline finish. A structured wine, yet very drinkable, maintaining an ethereal touch.

Ideal with grilled meat, herb-crusted poultry fillet, or oven-roasted vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve slightly chilled to reveal all its finesse.
