The Cellier des Samsons Brouilly, from the Brouilly cru in Beaujolais, France, is a vibrant Gamay that emphasises freshness and fruit purity. It pours a bright ruby with garnet rim, releasing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and subtle violet florals. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit flavours, gentle spiced tones and soft, fine tannins lifting through to a refreshing finish. There’s a delicate minerality that adds tension without weight. Though no major critic score is currently cited for this vintage, its consistency and value are clear. Best served lightly chilled with grilled poultry, pork or charcuterie.
