5 ha south-facing vineyard half-way up the hillside; already famous in the 17th century, as Louvet wrote in his History of the Beaujolais Wine Region written in 1635:
“on the hill of Brulhié (Brouilly), in the parish of Oudenas (Odenas) […] which slope or hill bears the best wines of the region”.
Shallow soil over “blue stones” a magmatic rock also called Metadiorite.

"Expressive, yet delicate, aromas of blood orange and wild strawberry that are still very youthful. Quite a serious tannin structure for this appellation, but they are already polished. Crisp, long finish with plenty of fruity vitality. From the south-facing side of the hill of Brouilly where the soil is volcanic diorite." 94 Points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
