Georges Descombes' Brouilly AOC is a long-limbed and polite, harmonious red wine, which manages to combine something fleshy and ephemeral with a satisfying and long-lasting relaxation. The most incredible thing is its juiciness while the most difficult thing is to weave with it a lot, a lot of refinement. Carbonic maceration in pre-fermentation, slow and delicate pressing. Unfiltered, not to mention that it is a simple beaujolais.
