100% Gamay from 60 year old vines! Mouth watering acidity frames the dark red and black fruit typical of wines from the Beaujolais Village of Cote de Brouilly, and yet its silky tannins and sensuous texture differentiate it from the more earthy, tannic examples of this cru.
This wine is textbook Breton, resulting from many factors—an early harvest, cool fermentation, shorter maceration, neutral oak aging—but particularly of Guy’s fermentation technique. Typically semi-carbonic maceration allows the juice at the bottom of the tank to sit with the remaining grapes, whose skins impart more tannin and density to the juice. Guy, in contrast, moves this juice to another tank in order to give the final wine finer concentration and tannin. It is still Côte de Brouilly with the structure to develop nicely over five to ten years - If you can wait when it's drinking so well right now!
Interesting Factoid: Guy Breton is one of the 'Gang of Four,' (with vignerons Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Jean Foillard) who, in the late 1980's, led the 'back to nature' trend, advocating for a return to the old practices of viticulture and vinification: starting with old vines, never using synthetic herbicides or pesticides, harvesting late, rigorously sorting to remove all but the healthiest grapes, adding minimal doses of sulfur dioxide or none at all, and refusing both chaptalization and filtration.
