They encompass 30 hectares of vines under the "Brouilly" and "Côte de Brouilly"
trade names. The only type of vine used is the black gamay with white juice which develops fully on the well exposed slopes of mount Brouilly.
In Brouilly, the soil is fine, acidic and not very fertile. It is composed of pink granites and diorites.
In the Coast of Brouilly you can find the famous " blue stone" (métatufs and
métadiorites),which are hard stones coming from vulcanos. This soil gives the wine its elegance, smoothness and its uniqueness.
The plots are mainly exposed East and South east for two trade names.
The density of plantation is 10 000 feet per hectare, cut out as "gobelet" (traditional Beaujolais' cut). The plots are on average 45 to 50 year old and produce approximately 50 hectolitres per hectare.
The protection of the vineyards is done according to the principles of the reasoned vine growing (countings before intervening, respect of good agricultural
practices...).
Grape harvesting is done manually and the grapes are transported through vats of average size in order to maintain the qualitative level during the in-tank operation.
