Château de La Chaize Brûlhier Lieu-dit 2020

The 2020 Côte de Brouilly Brûlhier has turned out very well, delivering aromas of cherries, blackberries, sweet spices and peonies, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant palate that’s concentrated and complete, with lively acids and ripe structuring tannins. As readers may remember, it’s derived from a southeast-facing site characterized by blue rock and numbers among the prime lieux-dits of the appellation. Drink date: [Now]-2033. Score – 93.
