Chateau des Tours Brouilly AOC 2010‏

The color is a bright garnet.  The aromas are medium intensity of black current with a slight hint of black licorice.  On the palate the wine is dry with medium/medium plus tannins with a light intensity of indistinct/elusive flavors with a slight hint of pepper in the background.  The acidity is high enough to be mouth-watering. The finish is clean with very indistinct intensity of lingering fruit.  It is the mouth-watering acidity that remains.  Serve slightly chilled between 55F to 60F.


Food & Wine: Cheeses such as Camembert or Brie. Grilled meats with mushrooms.  Pasta dishes with sausage.  Barbeque a hamburger or with cured meats.


Approximate Retail Price: US$17.00
