Winery list for Brouilly

The brouilly Aoc takes its name from mont Brouilly, a wide flat mountain that rises to 1,000 ft/300 m.

It dominates the landscape. The mountain itself named after Brulius, a Roman army lieutenant who oversaw this area two thousand years ago. This is the southern most of the Beaujolais Cru; it experiences much more of that Mediterranean warmth and sunshine than its northern neighbors.
It received AOC status in 1938. The Cote de Brouilly appellation lies within this AOC. 
The soils here are comprised of decomposed diorite, volcanic rock that is almost blue-black in color. As these rocks break down and release their minerals, they create a soil with a blue-green hue. The locals refer to this soil as cornes vertes or green horns.
