Brouilly | Range | Maison Joseph Drouhin

The northernmost Cru of Beaujolais, Brouilly is also one of the most famous and largest. The vines are planted on steep slopes.

From a distance, Mont Brouilly looks like a volcano. There is a small chapel at the top. It was built in 1857 to place the vineyard under the protection of the Virgin Mary.
