Brouilly is the largest and most southern appellation among the ten crus of Beaujolais, located at the foot of Mont Brouilly. This vineyard benefits from a remarkable and varied terroir made up of pink granite, schist, and blue rocks, which give the wines their unique character. The emblematic grape Gamay thrives here, producing full-bodied red wines that are smooth, fruity, and elegant, renowned for their intense fruitiness and finesse.
