Domaine Blain Soeur & Frere Cote de Brouilly Pierre Bleue 2015 Freemark Abbey Stirring the lees (Sur Lie)Marc Antonin describes this wine as linear with a straight structure. Northwest facing vines bring tension to the wine while the meager soil provides a mineral backbone. The wine shows aromas and flavors of ripe red fruits such as strawberries and cherries, while a percentage of whole clusters add to the wines complexity.
