Château de Pierreux Reviews

Here’s a floral and sophisticated Brouilly with a very striking mouthfeel in which moderately crisp acidity is married to silky tannins to create an elegant whole. Open on the nose and front palate, but still tightly wound at the spicy and savory finish, this should gain from further bottle age. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

This concentrated and beautifully crafted Brouilly has clearly been made for long aging and already has excellent integration of redcurrant and sour cherry fruit with spicy oak and stacks of fine tannins. The rich and silky palate is wonderfully atypical for the 2021 vintage. Long velvety and spicy finish. Filled in Bordeaux-shaped bottles. Drinkable now, but best to leave it for a few years to develop.
