Discover Brouilly Wines from Château des Tours

Brouilly

For a long time, the estate’s only cuvée, this wine is the exact interpretation of our terroir, recognized by A.Budker in 1874 as one of the most beautiful in Brouilly. Over time, Burgundian-influenced winemaking emerged, enhancing the fine and intensely fruity Gamay which accompanies traditional Beaujolais cuisine so perfectly.

Brouilly “Les Tours”

The estate’s oldest vines are primarily located on the heights of the vineyard in a “lieu-dit” called Les Tours, on the edge of Combiaty. Some of the vines were planted more than 80 years ago. They add rich and dense flavor to this wine produced for the first time in 2014. Here we are in secluded Brouilly!

Combiaty

The “lieu-dit” of Combiaty was first recognized in 1874 by A. Budker in his classification of the Beaujolais terroirs, which is still a reference today. This is where the Château des Tours has its magnificent south-east-facing plot. The soils and subsoil consist of mostly shallow granite. The old Gamay vines remain planted in goblet style, ensuring a very limited production.
