Château de Pierreux

Brouilly Gamay with depth and aging potential from volcanic terroir.

Château de Pierreux sits in Brouilly, the largest and most structured of Beaujolais's ten crus. The estate works primarily with Gamay, the region's signature variety—a grape that yields wines of bright acidity, silky tannin, and red-fruit clarity. The Grande Réserve Brouilly demonstrates the cru's capacity for depth and aging potential, while La Réserve du Château offers a more approachable expression of the same terroir. A Beaujolais-Villages Chardonnay rounds out the portfolio, a white counterpoint to the domaine's red-wine focus. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the winery's output. Brouilly's volcanic soils and southeast-facing slopes create conditions for Gamay to develop both power and finesse—wines that bridge the freshness Beaujolais is known for with the structure demanded by serious cellaring.
