After all, in such a striking natural environment, how could anyone not want to get the most out of the vines?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winegrowing conditions on steep slopes are sometimes heroic, and the growers make every effort to ensure that the flavour of the terroir comes out in the bottles in order to produce outstanding crus whose character is gradually revealed over the passing years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wines at their height, in every sense of the word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A wine that rises to the occasion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>C\u00f4te de Brouilly<\/strong> appellation is grown on the slopes of Mont Brouilly and benefits from the mild, sunny climate of the Beaujolais region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shrouded in mystery, <strong>C\u00f4te de Brouilly<\/strong> wines have their very own protection\u2026 The Notre-Dame aux Raisins chapel that has kept a benevolent eye on harvests since 1854.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This charming chapel stands here proudly because this was the place winegrowers used to come to beseech the Virgin Mary to wrap the vines in her protective cloak to keep the mushrooms from harming the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the <strong>C\u00f4te de Brouilly<\/strong> vines have more than just a breath-taking landscape and a guardian angel, the terroir the grow on is quite simply divine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A terroir that produces an intense wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamay vine stocks draw their strength from a rich terroir of volcanic rocks and the famous \u201cBrouilly blue stone.\u201d&nbsp; This outlandish name given to the rocks scattered around this part of the Beaujolais region comes from the blueish glints caused by the stone as it weathers away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C\u00f4te de Brouilly wines, with their intense garnet red colour, offer a complex palette: aromas of red fruit like nice notes of fresh plums, combined with floral, peppery and mineral notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The palate is lively and structured: the blue stones and sunshine are conducive to the tannin and give the wines a powerful, mineral and spicy character. After a few years of keeping, C\u00f4te de Brouilly wines boast a delightful potential for ageing, with the palate becoming more full-bodied and rounder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C\u00f4te de Brouilly<\/strong> enjoys an ideal environment allowing the grapes to flourish and a harvest of intense fruit.&nbsp; With its intense garnet red, this appellation is the star of Beaujolais wines, offering wine lovers a bouquet enhanced by the volcanic terroir. The region is worth visiting for its green hillsides and idyllic setting as much as for its wineries that produce excellent crus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":604,"template":"","thematique":[],"class_list":["post-1688","appellation","type-appellation","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/appellation\/1688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/appellation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/appellation"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"thematique","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thematique?post=1688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
