Description
Jean-Paul Brun started Terres Dorées in 1979 with a mere 4 hectares of vines in Charnay in the southern Beaujolais. Today, the estate is around 30 acres, but with an additional 15 hectares farmed in the crus. Harvest is by hand and of well-ripened but not over-ripened fruit, so alcohol levels are generally modest.
Jean-Paul is not an adherent or advocate of “natural wine” per se, yet is among the most natural of Beaujolais vignerons, uninterested in trend or fashion but deeply committed to purity of expression of fruit and site.
Tasting Notes
A tribute of Jean-Paul Brun to his Burgundian origins. A fresh and fruity Pinot Noir with ample and silky chocolate notes and melted tannins. A greedy to drink quickly wine and a good companion of game and meats in sauce.
