“La Croquante” Brouilly from Domaine Les Roches Bleues is born in a family-run estate, which cultivates 9 hectares of vineyards in the territories of the Appellation Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly, in the Beaujolais region. The cuvée is the result of a balanced blend of grapes from different Gamay vines that are between 25 and 60 years old. The mild and sunny climate and the suitable soils, composed of the famous pink granites of the Beaujolais region, allows Gamay to express itself at high qualitative levels. The harvest is done manually and the grapes undergo a brief whole-cluster carbonic maceration, lasting about a week, which allows for a delicate and light extraction. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, using only indigenous yeasts. The wine matures in steel tanks for 6-8 months and is then bottled without filtration and with a very low addition of sulfites.
