Baron de L'Ecluse, Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Ozzie, 2014 LOIRECT0126 still Serralunga d'Alba's most covetedCte de Brouilly is one of Beaujolais' best kept secrets, grown on the blue volcanic diorite slopes of Mont Brouilly that give the Gamay extra structure and minerality. This bottling comes from Domaine Baron de l'Ecluse, a family estate on those very slopes near Odenas. The Cuvee Ozzie is a serious cru Beaujolais built with a little age in mind. At a decade old, the 2014 has had time to round out and settle.
