Ok this wine is very fun for us. It’s our first-ever Crunchy Red Fruit import exclusive. We chose to bring in this Beaujolais from France just for our customers, and partnered with our import friends at Vinea to make it a reality. 

The Fellot family has been farming and making wine in Beaujolais for a few generations, but the winery in its current form wasn’t established until 1991. The focus at Fellot is on making a few cuvées of brilliant Gamay and Chardonnay, and expressing the vineyard to its truest extent. 

This Côte de Brouilly is a perfectly-realized Gamay: crushed raspberries, floral tones, and sweet earth abound and delight the palate. It’s winsome nature is matched only by its structural integrity.
