Chateau de Nervers Brouilly
The Chateau, owned by the de Chabanne family, was the hunting lodge for the nearby Chateau de la Chaize, whose estates in the 17th Century extended to the Saone River (approximately 6.2 miles). La Chaise was a confessor to Louis XIV and was awarded the land for his intercession with Heaven on behalf of the French king.
Tasting Notes
The words charm, balance and elegance are perfectly suited to this cuvée. In its red and purple robe, this Brouilly displays a wide aromatic palette: raspberry and cherry jam with a subtle, spicy touch. It reveals a mouth full of finesse and roundness, with velvety tannins. A touch of licorice is evident from nose to palate. The finish is persistent and silky.
Vineyards
The grapes come from 116.1 acres of traditional Gobelet-trellised Southeast-facing vineyards with vines more than 50 years old.
Winemaking
Harvesting of this wine is conducted manually, in whole bunches, and the grapes are destemmed before pressing. Semi-carbonic maceration and malolactic fermentation take place in French foudres (large, neutral oak barrels).
