"Jean-Paul Brun first started producing an example of CĂ´te de Brouilly in the 2002 vintage, which was made from purchased grapes. He eventually bought this same parcel in 2007. The Brun CĂ´te de Brouilly is made from a parcel of forty to forty-five year-old vines and is a stellar and quite textbook example of this superb cru. The nose on the 2009 is flat out great, as it soars from the glass in a sappy mĂŠlange of red and black cherries, woodsmoke, pomegranate, stony soil tones, cocoa and violets. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and strikingly transparent, with a great core of vivid fruit, superb focus, a bit of ripe tannin and superb length and grip on the complex and soil-driven finish. While this is certainly approachable today, I would be very much inclined to tuck this away in the cellar for a handful of years and let all of its secondary and tertiary layers emerge. It is a great bottle of CĂ´te de Brouilly."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
