Six communes have the privilege of taking part in this cru which has a reputation for wines that are subtle and poetic. Sought after by the most avid Parisian brasseries, Brouilly is abundant in fruit with cassis, raspberry and ripe grapes on the palate. This is a wine to be enjoyed in its youth, within the next two to three years.
