Magnum: Brouilly 2020 (Certified Organic), Chateau du Pave
A deep-coloured, fruit-intense Brouilly with gossamer-fine tannins and a zingy freshness. The dominant fruit on the palate is black cherry, with a touch of cassis and raspberry on the palate. A wine that finishes long and is a wonderful partner to English lamb.
Owned by the Brac de la Perriere family, this is Chris Piperƒ??s ƒ??base campƒ?? in Beaujolais and where he continues the tradition of making his ƒ??Chairmanƒ??s Plonkƒ?�, something that Chris started at Ch?›teau des Tours, in 1976.
Originally established in 1631 by Antoine Brac, this three hectares vineyard is perfectly situated at the foot of the C??te de Brouilly. The vines are cultivated using certified organic (Ecocert) methods; there is minimal intervention in the cuvage (winery), allowing the exceptional terroir to show through.
Wine making is traditional, with partial de-stemming (30%) in temperature-controlled concrete vats. There is no addition of sulphites prior to fermentation and only wild, indigenous yeasts are used.. The semi-carbonic maceration lasts for 8 days at a controlled temperature between 27?ø-30?øC. Extraction is carefully managed with two pump-overs per day. Then follows an ??levage of between 7-8 months in hermetically-sealed vats and an early bottling to capture the wineƒ??s intrinsic freshness and fruit. There is only a very light filtration using a tangential filter.
