Tasting Notes

Bursting with flowers and delicate cherry notes this masterfully combines a supple roundness with beautiful freshness and tension. While this is a little more muscular than some of Remi’s other wines, it demonstrates a rare finesse not often demonstrated by Brouilly

About the Winery

Rémi Dufaitre started purchasing vines around the Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly Crus in Beaujolais region back in 2006. He worked the land organically and sold the harvested grapes on. Once Rémi felt that the fruit had become higher quality, he started producing wine himself. He made and bottled his first vintage in 2010. 

Rémi, inspired by the icons of "natural" wines, produces wines using organic and low intervention methods in the classic carbonic method. Some carbon dioxide is added at the beginning of the whole bunch fermentation. Rémi does not use any temperature control. The final resulting wine is an easy drinking, light style of wine.
