Chavannes Cote de brouilly "Ambassades"
2020
Cote de Brouilly has a special terroir: "blue" granite is laced with volcanic porphyry, or crystallized mineral deposits. This mixture, combined with the elevation (AOC Côte de Brouilly is confined to the upper vineyards), largely accounts for Côte de Brouilly's highly scented and finely concentrated wines. Winemaking at Chavannes is traditional and simple, with little extraction in the modern sense. Fermentation is done in cement vats, after which the wine goes into foudre for aging. This wine is light cherry red in color Complex, incisive scents of fresh red berries, blood orange, allspice and candied rose, lifted by a smoky mineral nuance. Juicy raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors are accented by a hint of white pepper; bitter orange pith and rhubarb qualities lend refreshing bitterness. Gains depth on the very long, penetrating finish, which features sneaky, fine-grained tannins
