STEPHANE AVIRON BEAUJOLAIS COTE DE BROUILLY 2021

Style: Spicy & Bright

Stéphane comes from a family of wine growers from Beaujolais and has been working in vineyards since he was 14. The first Potel-Aviron wines were made in 2000 and they are vinified using traditional Burgundian techniques and raised in older barrels- no carbonic maceration here.

Made in the Burgundian fashion, Aviron's wines have earned a reputation for ageworthiness and, in my experience, really demand the wait. At the very least, bottles of his Crus that are less than three years old should get a little air time in a decanter before serving. JOSH RAYNOLDS, Vinous

Depth and layered complexity are this wine's calling card. The wine has a nose of dried cranberry, Darjeeling tea, white peach, strawberry and red cherry. On the palate, the Côte de Brouilly has a core of just-ripened fruit and velvety tannin. Give the wine 30 minutes to open in your glass if you're drinking now. The bottle will continue to improve with age.  REGGIE SOLOMON
