Reviews 91 points Wine Advocate "Offering up aromas of dark chocolate, roasting game bird and small wild berries, the 2016 Cote de Brouilly is medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy, with a crunchy core of fruit, racy acids and a long, chalky finish. Like the Fleurie Clos Vernay, it will demand and reward time in the cellar. (WK)" 94 points John Gilman "These vines are fifty years of age and have turned out an absolutely classic example of this fine appellation, with the bouquet delivering scents of cherries, sweet cranberries, orange peel, stony minerality, spice tones and incipient smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very soil-driven in personality, with a nice touch of sappiness at the core, modest tannins and excellent length and grip on the tangy and complex finish. A fine, fine new addition to the Lafarge-Vial roster! (JG)"
