The new Beaujolais has arrived! The eclectic Nicolas Rossignol has acquired vineyards in the Brouilly, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent Crus, creating a new 3.5-hectare estate. The aim is to rediscover the Beaujolais of yesteryear: wines for pleasure but also great wines for ageing. Brouilly ‘La Folie’ comes from 60-year-old vines on pink granite soils. This terroir produces structured wines with ripe tannins and great longevity. Côte de Brouilly ‘Chavannes’ comes from mixed vines on blue granite. These are mineral, rich and dense wines, perfect for ageing. Moulin-à-Vent is a blend of two parcels vinified with 50% whole bunches, offering an intense and rich wine, a worthy rival to the great Burgundy wines that Nicolas continues to produce in “his” Côte de Beaune.
