Region: Beaujolais, France
Appellation: Brouilly
Type/Style: Red Wine
Grapes: Gamay

La Folie is Pierre-Olivier Garcia's lone Beaujolais bottling, sourced from one of Brouilly's oldest climats planted on pink granite soils. While many Brouillys lean toward simple fruit, Garcia approaches this vineyard with the same precision he brings to Burgundy. The wine is aged in barrel for added complexity, resulting in a Gamay that balances vibrant red fruit with floral lift, subtle spice, and mineral tension. Notes of raspberry, cherry, rose petal, and crushed granite unfold across a palate that is both energetic and surprisingly structured. This is Brouilly for Burgundy lovers—transparent, terroir-driven, and endlessly drinkable. Serve lightly chilled alongside roast chicken, charcuterie, or grilled pork.
