Description
Domaine du Père Benoit “Côte de Brouilly” RED, vintage 2021.
100% Gamay. Average age of the vines used to grow this wine is 90 years.
Another seriously-old-vine wine but this time from one of the domaine’s best parcels, a tiny 0.65 hectare block at the top of the hill in the Brouilly sub-district. The fruit is precise, perfumed, lifted, and complex, with mulberries, blackberry, cassis and spice, cherry jam, earthy woodiness and leather, while the palate firmly medium bodied with impressive tannins, textured, structural, and long in the mouth.
Drink now to 2030.
