FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which Brouilly should you choose for a first taste of Gamay from this selection?

Dufaitre’s 2022 Brouilly, listed without an additional cuvée name, is a simple starting point for exploring the selection. All eight wines are red wines made from Gamay and belong to the Beaujolais crus, so the comparison here is between producers, cuvées, and vintages.

Which Jean-Claude Lapalu cuvées can you compare from the same vintage?

Three Jean-Claude Lapalu Brouilly wines are listed from 2022: “Cuvée des Fous,” “Vieilles Vignes,” and “La Croix des Rameaux.” Comparing them lets you explore three cuvées from the same producer without changing vintage; however, the information provided does not specify their differences in taste.

Which two Dufaitre Brouilly wines are featured here?

Dufaitre is represented by Brouilly and Brouilly “Cuvée Boldness,” both from 2022 and in 75 cl bottles. This duo allows for a comparison within the same producer, but the name “Boldness” alone is not enough to infer a particular style or intensity.

Are the two “Vieilles Vignes” Brouilly wines from the same producer and vintage?

No: Descombes’ “Vieilles Vignes” Brouilly is from 2021, while Jean-Claude Lapalu’s is from 2022. Comparing them therefore means taking into account both the change of producer and vintage, without attributing any possible differences solely to the “Vieilles Vignes” designation.

Which cuvée should you choose to include a pre-2021 vintage in a Brouilly tasting?

Marc Delienne’s 2019 “Pierreux” Brouilly is the only wine in the selection from before 2021. It can be compared with Descombes’ 2021 “Vieilles Vignes” or the 2022 cuvées, keeping in mind that the producer also changes; the vintage alone is not enough to draw conclusions about their current maturity.
