Jean-Claude Lapalu, Brouilly Vieilles Vignes, 2023
Jean-Claude Lapalu is a true master of Beaujolais, crafting wines that capture both the vibrancy of Gamay and the depth of old vines. His Brouilly Vieilles Vignes comes from parcels of organically farmed, deeply rooted vines, some over 60 years old, planted in the granite-rich soils of Beaujolais’ southernmost cru. The 2023 vintage continues Lapalu’s tradition of expressive, terroir-driven winemaking, offering a Brouilly that is both joyful and surprisingly structured.
Bursting with wild raspberry, blackberry, and violets, the wine is supple yet precise, with a stony minerality that lends definition. There’s a gentle grip to the tannins, a reminder that this is no simple bistro Gamay, but a wine with real presence and aging potential. While it shines with a slight chill alongside charcuterie, roast chicken, or grilled vegetables, a few years in the cellar will only add to its complexity. A soulful, captivating Brouilly from one of the region’s greats.
