Nicole Chanrion Côte-de-Brouilly 2024
Nicole Chanrion and her son Romain couldn’t help but gleefully finish each other’s sentences during a recent visit to their domaine at the foot of Mont Brouilly—they were too excited to share their winemaking philosophies and incredible terroir right outside their domaine’s door. While the Chanrions own parcels all across these slopes and vinify them separately, they blend them in the end to create, as Romain says, an orchestra full of beautiful harmony. Stony, faintly spicy, and elegant, it’s the kind of bottle you want to pop open again as soon as the first is drained.
