2023 Bonnet Cotton, Côte de Brouilly ‘100% Cotton’ Beaujolais

This is Beaujolais with a wild streak—Pierre Cotton’s Côte de Brouilly ‘100% Cotton’ is his flagship cuvée, born from a rare patch of pink granite and diorite soil called corne verte, found only in Odénas. Made with 100% whole cluster carbonic maceration and aged in large foudre, it’s juicy and lifted yet surprisingly structured—like a punk rocker in a velvet blazer. No fining, no filtering, and zero added sulfites means what you taste is pure, unadulterated Gamay energy. It’s the kind of bottle that makes natural wine lovers swoon and Beaujolais fans rethink everything they thought they knew.
