| Description: | Pierreux is located at the heart of Brouilly - geographically the widest-ranging of the Beaujolais crus. The Beaujolais region, pressing up against the foothills of the Massif Central, overlooks the Saone river plain between Macon and Lyon. The vines of the Beaujolais vineyards, with their undulating relief, are characterised by very dense plantation and exposure to all four points of the compass. Pierreux is no exception to this rule. Here, in shallow, highly absorbent sandy soil consisting of pink granite dotted with blue porphyry stones (hurled out several million years ago by the Brouilly volcano), Gamay vines grow in solitary splendour. Food pairing The structured power of the wine is remarkable albeit with a well-rounded style which makes for ideal drinking with cheese, meats, sauce-based dishes and even spicy dishes. Producer Since 2002, Maison Jean-Claude Boisset has been transformed by Mr. Boisset's son, Jean-Charles, from a traditional négociant into a viniculturalist, a cross between a viticulturalist and a vinifier. The result is the Jean-Claude Boisset collection of wines - Burgundy through and through. From one of the best young winemakers emerging in France, Grégory Patriat, each of the appellations is the result of rigorous selection and has been produced in limited quantities. This is the way of things in Burgundy. handcrafted in meticulous detail, according to a philosophy of ‘letting the vine do the work'. A taste reveals our aim of striving for authentic wines in which human intervention has been kept to a bare, discreet minimum; the wines are concentrated, well-rounded, and natually, expressive of their terroirs. |
