Le Cru du Volcan, Brouilly, Domaine Les Roches Bleues - Beaujolais is an easy-drinking red with fruity freshness and minimal tannins - The highest quality of Beaujolais are the ten different cru villages of which Bruilly is one.
This is textbook Cru Beaujoulais - a lovely seductive perfume of liquorice and marzipan leads onto an almost sensuously fleshy palate of plums and red berry flavours which tantalize the taste buds!
Le Cru du Volcan is part of a collection of wines sourced by Samantha Bailey, who lives and works in the region and works with growers who have some of the best vineyard slopes and domaines in the region.
Grapes are hand-picked and whole-berry fermented for 5-8 days (maceration carbonique) followed by a further 2 or 3 on the skins in order to keep plenty of aromatic young fruit yet add a splash of subtle tannins to give greater weight.
