September 14, 2022 - This Descombes Brouilly is just about perfect. Colour is still plum red with no browning. A lovely complex mix of still primary, cherry gamay fruit with an overlay of Indian spices on both nose and palate. Medium bodied, soft acid, but great length. Just about perfect.

October 2, 2014 - Petite confiture de cerise,légèrement surette qui s'estompe après quelques minutes dans le verre.Bu avec charcuteries et fromages.

April 15, 2014 - Tout ce qu’on peut souhaiter d’un Descombes: un fruit pur et vibrant, gourmand et suave, avec une réelle matière, le plaisir brut, sans rien de superficiel. On a mis a profit un millésime qui s’avère fort beau dans la région, supérieur à 2010. À boire sur ce fruit ravissant sur la prochaine année. 90-91 pts

September 19, 2013 - Light crimson color, transparent. Wonderful nose primarily of cherry, strawberry and some kirsch, with a little spice at back end. This is a tasty wine and just a wonderful Beaujolais
