Winemaker Notes
Pretty crimson color, with subtle yet ripe red fruit on the nose. Lightly spiced and long on the palate. Delicate and distinguished which brings out a mineral note, typical of our subsoil soil here in Cote de Brouilly.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Essentially, the 2007 Cote de Brouilly for the U.S. is the same as for other markets except that it is not filtered. An invigoratingly saline and tart edge to the abundant, pure black fruits is on display. Notes of black tea and wet stone add intrigue. There is a lovely textural polish and brightness to a finish that suggests almost a Riesling-like call and response of fruit and mineral. Enjoy this over the next 2-3 years.
When Nicole Chanrion began her career in the 1970s, convention relegated women to the enology labs and kept them out of the cellars. But with six generations of family tradition preceding her, she would not be deterred from her dream of becoming a vigneronne. Ever since taking over the family domaine in 1988, she works all 6.5 hectares entirely by herself, from pruning the vineyards and driving the tractors to winemaking and bottling, all without bravado or fanfare. Nicole makes traditional Beaujolais: hand harvesting, whole cluster fermentation, aging the wines in large oak foudres for at least nine months, and bottling unfiltered. The resulting wines are powerful, with loads of pure fruit character and floral aromas.
