Terroir

This Brouilly is produced in the commune of Cercié. There are different types of soil: the vines located closest to Mont Brouilly benefit from the presence of blue granite of volcanic origin that makes up the hill. The soil of the plots located further north is made up of foothills and sandier alluvium.

Semi-carbonic maceration for 7 to 8 days (partially destemmed bunches) in concrete and stainless steel vats before pressing.
