In 1850, Jean-Marie Labruyère bought ten hectares of vines around Les Thorins, a hamlet in the Romanèche-Thorins commune of the Saône-et-Loire department. Today Édouard Labruyère, who grew up on the estate, is the seventh generation to run it. Édouard took over in 2008 and together with winemaker Nadine Gublin and viticulturalist Michel Rovere, has continued to shepherd an estate which is both a Moulin-à-Vent superstar and a shining example of that of which the Gamay grape is capable – ageworthy quality wines
"A blend of five parcels, Coeur de Terroirs is spicy and darkly fruited on the nose, peppery and with a deft tannic presence. These are granite soils, rich in manganese and quartz, planted with old vines. The grapes are 100% destemmed. Half the wine is matured in concrete vats, the other half in old 600 litre oak demi-muids. The palate is quite explosively concentrated, with super-ripe red cherries and a zesty lift adding an exotic aspect. Very approachable, although there is an impressively firm tannic chassis here, suggesting longevity in bottle.
