Domaine Lathuiliere Pisse Vieille Brouilly 2012
Brouilly, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceThe 5th generation Gravallon family of winegrowers owns 15ha of vineyards in the heart of the Beaujolais region across six different appellation areas. This, in Brouilly, is a site of 50 year old vines, sustainably raised (Lutte Raisonée) and nurtured. Tense and precise from first sniff to fading memory, with strawberry stoniness, wild raspberry, black plum and dried herbs, and fragrant wildflowers. The concentrated and structured palate has bamboo strength tannins, firm yet yielding. Love the savoury structure of this serious Brouilly.Tasted: 15 November 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $15.19 | 750ml | BCLS |
