2022, Domaine de Bel-Air, BROUILLY, 'Briante'The top soil for the Brouilly is alluvium clay while the deep subsoil is made up of schist and granite. This famous Cru gives beautifully scented wines which glow ruby red. The fruity plum, cherry and kirsch aromas come though delightfully on the palate. Supple, rounded and easy to drink you will enjoy sharing this. Wine makers' notes.
