Light, vivid ruby. Vibrant red fruit, floral and spice qualities on the mineral-inflected nose take on suggestions of incense and licorice as the wine stretches out. Sappy, incisive and pure, offering palate-staining raspberry, bitter cherry, floral pastille and rhubarb flavors that show a compelling blend of depth and vivacity. Closes very long and subtly chewy, with reverberating florality and polished tannins that come in late. That Foillard magic is clearly a hereditary thing.

The 2019 Côte de Brouilly wafts from the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, peonies and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, rich and lively, with powdery tannins and a perfumed, sapid finish, it has turned out well.
