This time we taste a Cru Beaujolais from Brouilly - and it turns out to be a fantastic value for such a good wine! This wine is a 2020 Chateau Pierreux Brouilly Cru Beaujolais.
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine.

Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!
