Robert Perroud 2009 Pollen Gamay (Brouilly)
- $24
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.

Georges Duboeuf 2009 Prestige Gamay (Brouilly)
With some tannins, even a touch of wood, this is a weighty wine, giving juicy plum flavors along with acidity. It is rich and concentrated, although ready to drink now.

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.

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.

Domaine Dominique Piron 2009 Combiaty Gamay (Brouilly)
- $18
Round and soft, very much in the style of warm-hearted Brouilly. The wine has a layer of tannins, while it’s the delicious red berry fruits that dominate. Ripe, full and ready to drink.

Georges Duboeuf 2009 Château de Prieuré Gamay (Brouilly)
- Online Exclusive
Full and rich, this is a ripe, generous wine that offers great swathes of black berry fruit. It is well structured, the tannins folding into the ripe fruits, although never losing sight of delicious jelly acidity.

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.

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.
