A saturated ruby colour, followed by a beautiful pure red berry nose, dense and inviting. The palate is veritably singing, so ripe and supple, with resounding raspberry fruit – spherical! Darts of dark ferrous minerality and a seam of brininess from the mid-palate through to the finish. For the entry-level offering of the domaine, this is some wine.
"There is a dense berried character to this dark, mineral-etched Beaujolais – the fruit of old vines from five special parcels at Domaine Labruyère.
