2015 Domaine des Terres Dorées Brouilly “Pisse Vieille”

A new cuvée, on the limit with Morgon, not so high, near village of Cercié, some gravel and clay in the soil here – in a difficult vintage the vines are less stressed here.

Fine red fruit – almost a macerating redcurrant style. Fresh, transparent, lithe, changing – this is simply delicious. Nice layers, super freshness, dark red flavour. This is for drinking!

In 2015 we harvested very quickly as it was really too hot. In the end , to finish as fast as possible, we had two teams in the vines – there was really the need to avoid the maturity going too high. It’s a lower volume harvest due to such small grapes with thick skins. But given the speed we harvested, we have nothing at 16°! Mainly 13.5 with one cuvée at 14
