Description
The 2019 Côte de Brouilly “6.3.1” from Domaine Dupré Goujon is an exceptional wine made from Gamay grapes, biodynamically cultivated on the rich volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: The color is a deep ruby red, with violet hues around the rim, reflecting the wine’s youth and vitality.
Nose: The aromatic bouquet is intense and complex, first revealing vibrant aromas of crisp red fruits like cherry and raspberry. These are complemented by floral touches of violet and peony, typical of top-quality Gamay from the region, along with subtle spicy and mineral notes originating from the basaltic soils of Mont Brouilly.
Palate: The attack is lively and fresh, with a well-defined acidity that gives energy to the wine. The tannins are fine and silky, perfectly integrated. The mid-palate is fruit-driven, with juicy flavors of red and black fruits such as blackberry and cherry, accompanied by mineral undertones that provide tension. The finish is long and persistent, with a saline touch and a remarkable freshness that invites you to take another sip.
Aging Potential
This wine can be cellared for 5 to 8 years, developing more complexity over time while retaining its freshness and fruit-forward character.
Food Pairings
This Côte de Brouilly pairs wonderfully with white meats like roasted chicken, mushroom-based dishes, or fine charcuterie. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine, such as ratatouille or grilled vegetables. A well-chosen match for a slightly aged soft cheese, such as Saint-Marcellin.
