If you've ever wondered why wine geeks are always trying to get people to drink Cru Beaujolais, this is the wine to try. Sure, it will get the 93 and 94 point ratings it gets every year by critics who love the aromas and flavors of cherries, plums, fresh flowers, licorice and granite that it always serves up. And it has the same bewitching combination of velvet texture wand weightless grace as always, too. No reason to wait for the raves. One of the great wines of Burgundy, much less Beaujolais.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"The 2020 Côte de Brouilly is already very expressive, bursting with aromas of ripe berry fruit, plums and cherries mingled with hints of raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's rich and fleshy, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a sapid finish. In style, this is more muscular than the more elegant 2019, but both represent benchmarks for Beaujolais in their respective vintages."
