Bonnet-Cotton, "Brouilly, Les Mines" 2020

100% Gamay. From the importer...

"100% Gamay from the vineyard 'Les Mines.' Typically, the Bonnet-Cotton Domaine only produces one wine from Brouilly—‘100% Cotton,’ which is a blend of two parcels, “Les Mines” and “Bonnège.” In 2020, Pierre and Marine decided to make two separate cuvées, as it’s the last year they’ll be able to harvest grapes from the Bonnège parcel: their family leased this parcel for two generations, but it was recently sold and reclaimed by the new owner. Because these ephemeral cuvées will only exist for this vintage, Pierre and Marine decided to use the ‘100% Cotton’ labels, so the designation will only be on the back label. ‘Les Mines’ as a lieu-dit is 1.5ha, with vines planted in the 1950s and ’60s on fully pink granite soils. Full carbonic maceration of whole clusters in cement tank, then aged in foudre for nine months. Unfined, unfiltered. No SO2 added."
