Château de la Chaize 2009 Gamay (Brouilly)

The magnificent 17th-century Château de la Chaize and its cellars are national monuments. This wine has a warm structure that’s packed with black cherry flavor and finished with acidity. It could age for another year or two.

Château de la Terrière 2006 Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Jules du Souzy Gamay (Brouilly)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
Rich, concentrated red and black plum flavor dominate a wine that shows structure as well as intensity. This is powerful stuff, a delicious wine, fruity but with a core of dark tannins. It is just edging into maturity, so drink this year. The name recalls the Counts of Souzy who once governed the region.

Robert Perroud 2009 Pollen Gamay (Brouilly)

Firm tannins push this wine into the concentrated direction. It is rich, ripe, although with plenty of juicy red fruit flavors. The wine, with its pure line in acidity, has an attractive chewy structure.

Château de la Terrière 2009 Cuvée Jules de Souzy Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Brouilly)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Bottled unfiltered, this is a richly ripe wine, layered with a more smoky, even mineral, texture from the volcanic soil of the vineyard. It is dense, the tannins giving hints of wood as well as a black plum skin character.

Robert Perroud 2011 Pollen Gamay (Brouilly)
- $19
Using grapes sourced from stony soil, this is a serious, tight and mineral-driven wine. It has firm tannins that dominate the potentially juicy red fruits. Powerful and concentrated.

Château de la Terrière 2007 Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Jules du Souzy Gamay (Brouilly)
- $22
Aged in wood, and bottled without filtration, this is a smooth, rich wine that has certainly benefited from the extra concentration of old vines. The flavors—red plums, licorice, black fig jelly—are given weight by dryness from wood and from tannins.
— R.V.

Château Thivin 2008 Gamay (Brouilly)
Structured, with firm tannins, a far remove from the image of Brouilly as the softest of the Beaujolais crus. There is spice, fresh juiciness with berry flavors rolling around the wine. But the structure comes through strongly, the finish with fresh acidity.
