The wine

Brouilly is the largest of the ten Beaujolais crus, spread around the flanks of Mont Brouilly, and La Folie is a named parcel within it.

Gamay grown on the granite and blue volcanic stone here gives a wine with more depth and structure than the light carbonic Beaujolais of popular memory. Pierre-Olivier and Ana Garcia farm with an eye on biodiversity rather than monoculture, experimenting with cereals, ploughing and planting between the rows. The fruit is hand harvested with a proportion fermented as whole clusters, which lifts the aromatics and adds a peppery spice that destemming cannot give.

The producer

Pierre-Olivier Garcia

View all Pierre-Olivier Garcia wines

Pierre-Olivier Garcia is one of the brightest young talents in Burgundy, a rising grower and micro-negociant based in the Côte de Nuits. In a short time his wines have won critical acclaim for their purity, energy and impressive value.

Working from carefully chosen parcels across the Côte d Or and beyond, Garcia farms and selects with obsessive attention to detail, favouring whole-bunch ferments and restrained oak. The aim is transparency, letting each terroir shine.

The range is unusually broad and rewarding, from serious single-lieu-dit Aligoté and charming Cru Beaujolais to village Marsannay and Nuits-Saint-Georges and on to Grand Cru Corton, each finely drawn and expressive.

Precise, fragrant and quietly ambitious, Pierre-Olivier Garcia is a name to watch, and to drink, as modern Burgundy finds its future.
