Pierre Cotton, "Brouilly, 100% Cotton, Bonnege" 2019

From the importer: "Typically, the domaine only produces one wine from Brouilly - 100% Cotton, a blend of two parcels - "Les Mines" and "Bonnege". In 2019, Pierre and Marine decided to make two separate cuvées because it’s the last year they will be able to harvest grapes from the Bonnege parcel, which their family has been leasing for two generations but was recently sold and reclaimed by the new owner. To make things even more confusing - because these ephemeral cuvées only exist for one year, they decided to use the 100% Cotton labels, so the indication will only be on the back label."

100% Gamay from the Bonneges vineyard, planted in the 1950s on pink granite soil. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented carbonically using wild yeasts. Aged in wooden foudre and barrels for 8 months. Unfined, unfiltered with no added SO2.
