Brouilly

Brouilly is one of the Beaujolais 'Crus' which are those appelations designated as having not only their own character but also as signposts for quality. Brouilly is in fact the biggest of all the crus and produces the most textured and robust wines. All the Brouilly vineyards are situated around Mont. Brouilly, from which the appelation takes its name. The more superior Cote de Brouilly is reserved for those vineyards grown higher up the hillside.
