Chateau de La Chaize AOP Brouilly
£19.50
Taste
Black fruity and rounded with textural tannins and earthy notes
Aroma
Black cherry with plum and spices
Description
A fragrant and delightful Brouilly (an appellation in Beaujolais) that’s juicy and subtle. Made from 100% Gamay grapes, this delicate red is elegant with a medium-bodied palate, lively acidity and soft enjoyable tannins. Pleasure in a bottle, this silky red’s delicate aromas of black cherry, plum and spice and balanced flavours of earthy black fruits are fantastic.
- 17.5/20, JancisRobinson.com, ‘It tastes of raspberries and blackberries, of ink and earth, of orange peel and old bricks. The tannins seem to simply graffiti the fruit with street-art panache. A wine that is delicious and has soul. What’s more, this stainless-steel fermented, 13.5% wine, aged for about nine months in old oak, is under £20. Affordable and crushable indeed.’ (written by Tamlyn Currin, 2022 vintage)
- Recommended by Brian Elliott, MidWeek Wines: ‘Compared to more northerly parts of the Cru Beaujolais area, the diverse geology of Brouilly often produces fresher, easy drinking, Beaujolais but this example combines delicacy with complexity. Juicy with aromas of soft fruit, it provides bright and fresh complex cherry, blackcurrant and spicy flavours. These are accompanied by good orange acidity (but little tannin) together with nuanced cocoa and violet background components to round things out nicely.‘ (2022 vintage)
