Compagnie Beaujolaise

Made from Brouilly, Beaujolais, France. The wine achieves the delicate balance between exuberance and elegance. The color is a deep ruby. The nose is intense and shows floral notes as well as fresh black fruits and spices: the mark of Château des Tours' terroir. The palate offers a nice freshness, followed by a round structure with soft, lingering tannins.

Brouilly is an appellation for red wines produced from vineyards in central-north Beaujolais. The lower slopes of Mont Brouilly and the surrounding countryside contain significant plantings of the Gamay grape variety.

Compared to the light and fresh Beaujolais Nouveau, relatively robust and full-bodied wines are produced in Brouilly. The wines are more fruit-driven than many other Beaujolais cru wines, their plum and berry flavors outweighing Gamay's traditional floral character.
