Hand-harvested organically farmed Jacquere and Altesse grapes from southwest-facing vineyard ‘Les Chateaux’ in Chignin. Old vines (50 years), densely planted on silty limestone soils worked with horse-plow. Carefully sorted whole clusters, delicately pressed and fermented in the tank without additions. Natural malolactic fermentation, 4 months aging in the tank.
Fruit, flowers and aromatic herbs follow one another revealing freshness and flavour on the palate. A Chardonnay that is able to challenge many white Burgundies for its finesse and nobility.
Direct pressing, spontaneous fermentation and ageing in vats for 80% and in wood for the remainder.
For those seeking a wine that captures the essence of its terroir and a natural, unadulterated approach to winemaking, this bottle is an absolute must.
Château Cambon Brouilly is the kind of wine you just don't want to stop drinking. -Eric Asimov
A versatile eau-de-vie known as "Cognac's little brother", suitable for before or after a meal, and indeed matchable with a variety of foods. The Red is more popular with locals. Five years in oak gives it that little something extra.
Edouard's Chardonnay has rich aromas of hazelnut, pear, and yellow apple with good weight and acidity. A great example of the grape from limestone soils and without new oak flavouring.
