Domaine du Pavillon Cote de Brouilly 2022 750ml

This is a very old school Beaujolais in the best sense: beautiful garnet color, beguiling aromatics, and a burst of refreshment in the mouthand that burst is a savory, mineral, toothsome thing because of the domaines high elevations and because of Brouillys meager volcanic soils that provide depth of flavor. Some crus emphasize soil notes, others give fruit, but only good Cte de Brouilly gives stone in the flavor. Blackberries, cherries, and cassis permeate every inch of the palate with violets on the finish.
