BROUILLY AND CÔTE-DE-BROUILLY, BEAUJOLAIS’ <strong>FRA</strong>TERNAL TWINS BY CAMILLE BERNARD PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF THE ESTATES - © THOMAS LAMBELIN Twins and yet different in so many ways, the Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly appellations fully illustrate the breadth and depth of the Beaujolais Crus proposition. Their location and their name make them neighbours, and yet they offer unique defining features that translate the subtlety of their respective vineyard sites and can be identified with every sip. CHÂTEAU DU BLUIZARD 24 AUTUMN 2023 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
BEAUJOLAIS APPELLATIONS THE VINEYARDS AT DOMAINE DU PÈRE BENOIT B eaujolais, the land of Gamay, is home to some real treasures, particularly its lovely growths or ‘crus’ with their distinctive personas. This vinous treasure trove features the Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly appellations, which form the most southerly growths. Covering a sweeping 1,200 hectares, Brouilly is also the most extensive. At its heart nestles Côte-de-Brouilly, sitting like a mounted gemstone over its smaller 310 hectares. The two areas are so close, but their differing vineyard sites reveal very different characters. Perched across the slopes of Mount Brouilly, Côte-de-Brouilly is famous for its blue stones which lend the wines specific minerality, and an almost ethereal touch. By contrast, Brouilly, which rings the mountain, offers pink granite-dominant soils which impart texture, depth and roundness to the wines, making them irresistibly moreish. So where Brouilly’s attraction lies in its finesse and fruit, Côte-de-Brouilly generally delivers more complex, structured wines combining a crisp mouthfeel with more tightly-wound tannins. This duality, which stems from unique soils, is also mirrored in the appellations’ respective markets. Whilst Brouilly tends to draw an audience looking for a gentle introduction to the world of Beauolais, and has long featured on wine lists in many Parisian restaurants, Côte-de-Brouilly is a more boutique offering, mainly attracting imbibers looking for more racy, structured wines. We head off to discover these two Beaujolais neighbours which, far from being rivals, are actually harmoniously complementary. AUTUMN 2023 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE 25
