A fresh and fragrant expression of Gamay from the rolling hills of Beaujolais, the 2019 Gilles Gelin Brouilly is all about charm—vibrant red fruit, floral lift, and silky texture in a glass.
Taste
Bright cherry, raspberry, and blueberry leap from the glass, accented by hints of spice and violets. The palate is juicy and well-balanced, with a soft structure and silky tannins. Light-bodied and fruit-forward, the wine’s semi-carbonic maceration gives it a playful, aromatic profile and a smooth, easy-drinking finish.
