Brouilly is the largest and most southerly of the ten Beaujolais Crus as well as also being one of the few not to be named after a local village. Its 1200ha of vineyards curl round the volcanic Mont Brouilly, producing fruity, round, textured wines which can be reasonably tannic and often show earthy notes.
Most should be drunk in 3-4 years but the most age-worthy styles from top producers in top vintages can last up to a decade. It is also the only Cru, along with its sister appellation Côte de Brouilly, to allow grapes other than Gamay to be planted in this case Chardonnay, Aligoté and Melon de Bourgogne although few choose to take advantage.
Recommended Producers: Dubost, Alain Michaud

Jean-Paul Dubost has put together a wine as notable for the richness and ripeness of its fruit as for the balance of its tannins. This is a very stylish cru Beaujolais which will blossom in the glass. (Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer) Drink 2009-2001 . | ||||
