An exclusive partnership between Joseph Drouhin and the Domaine des Hospices de Belleville, one of the finest estates in the Brouilly appellation of Beaujolais. This wine showcases the elegant, fruit-forward style that Drouhin brings to the Beaujolais Crus.
Beautiful deep ruby colour. Fresh and vibrant aromas of ripe red cherry, blueberry, peony, and a touch of mineral granite. On the palate, juicy and round with fine, silky tannins and a refreshing, lingering finish. A Beaujolais Cru of real character and charm.
