2020 - Gamay
The Côte de Brouilly 100% Cotton was the first cuvée Pierre made and remains the emblematic wine of the domaine - a structured, powerful Gamay that magically retains the easy drinking bonhomie of the best wines of the Beaujolais.
Carbonic maceration with whole clusters and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, without SO2 in concrete tanks. It is then age underground in century-old foudres that were originally built for holding beer, then were repurposed in the 1950s and 1960s.
