The Brouilly 2020 from Domaine Georges Descombes is a red wine made from Gamay, the emblematic grape variety of Beaujolais. This cru, from a granitic terroir, is distinguished by its balance and finesse. Harvested at full maturity, the grape is vinified using natural methods, without the addition of sulfites and with minimal intervention. The result is a lively, authentic wine that perfectly reflects the character of the vintage and the terroir.

The Brouilly 2020 reveals intense aromas of fresh red fruits like raspberry and cherry on the nose, accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, with a nice acidity that gives it great freshness. The tannins are fine and silky, offering a pleasant and persistent length. A wine that combines freshness and gourmandise, perfect for immediate tasting but with a great aging potential.

This Brouilly pairs perfectly with:

• Fine charcuterie
• Lightly sauced dishes like Bresse poultry with cream
• Soft cheeses like camembert or brie
• Grilled meats like a herb-crusted rack of lamb

Its freshness and fruity aromas also make it an excellent companion for Mediterranean cuisine dishes.
