2020 Domaine Andre Colonge & Fils Brouily Gorges de Loup

Domaine André Colonge & Fils' Brouilly "Gorges de Loup" is everything you want from a classic Beaujolais Cru—honest, vibrant, and packed with character. From a family estate in Lancié that’s been perfecting the craft for generations, this wine comes from siliceous-clay soils that give it plenty of depth and structure.

The grapes are all handpicked, with careful sorting to keep the quality spot on. After a semi-carbonic maceration lasting about two weeks, the result is a wine that’s smooth and approachable while still carrying a solid backbone of tannins.

In the glass, it’s deep ruby with notes of black fruits, a touch of liquorice, and a smoky, mineral edge. The palate is silky yet bold, with rich fruit giving way to warming spice on the finish—this is the kind of wine you can drink now or stash away for a few years.

Perfect for those who love Beaujolais with a bit more muscle, this is a fantastic example of what the Brouilly cru can offer.
