“While Alain Dugoujard uses the Beaujolais semi-carbonic vinification method, he destems 100% of his grapes, just as in Burgundy. His 2015 vintage charmed our tasters, both with its aromas of black fruit and bigarreau cherries and with its remarkably balanced palate, built on fine, perfectly integrated tannins. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2017 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Château de Pierreux is the Boisset Group’s flagship estate in the Beaujolais region. Since its acquisition in 2002, the property has been beautifully restored. Located at the foot of Mont Brouilly, on stony soil that gave the place its name, the eponymous cuvée is well-structured, though perhaps at the expense of finesse.

A good Brouilly may be less fruity than you'd expect, but it's still decent.

An excellent wine for those who prefer a light red. It’s perfect for summer when served slightly chilled.

A good wine, but a bit too alcoholic. Mineral (as the name suggests...). Best left to age.

Review by Mr. FRANCOIS M. Posted on September 13, 2017
Be warned: the praise heaped upon this wine is completely unfounded! After several comparative tastings, I can confirm that this is a tart wine with little aroma, high in alcohol, and, all in all, mediocre and unappealing. The fact that it’s being sold on this site doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

A lovely scent, typical of the region.

Review by Mr. QUENTIN A. Published on March 20, 2017
I'm having a hard time understanding why the HV guide raves about this wine: it's a bit sour on the nose, lacks body on the palate, and has a harsh alcoholic finish—a real disappointment.

Review by Mr. PHILIPPE A. Posted on March 14, 2017
I've only tasted one bottle, and I'm disappointed. As it stands, the tannins are too tight, and there's a harsh alcoholic finish. I'm going to let it age for a year or two.

A pleasant wine, but one that lacks finesse. Nice aromas of red fruit, somewhat overshadowed by a noticeable alcohol kick.
