Château des Tours in Brouilly/Beaujolais was first mentioned in the 14th century, an estate with a long tradition. Today, the Richard family cultivates 70 hectares of vineyards here, exclusively in the AOP Brouilly. The range is tight, there is a Brouilly and a Brouilly Vieilles Vignes. The wines are characterized by their delicacy and their fruity charm with attractive spiciness, just like high-quality Beaujolais should be. This wine grows on poor soil in an amphitheater surrounding the castle, an ideal location for the Gamay grape variety. The pleasingly low price level should also be emphasized here, you get a lot of wine for your money.
