Jean-Paul Brun Terres Dorées Beaujolais Blanc Vinification Bourguignonne 2019

Dry white wine with a refined aroma of ripe yellow fruit, a bit of toast and light oak. The taste is round, full and balanced and ends freshly aromatic.

 

Does white beaujolais exist? Yes and how! Jean-Paul Brun makes a stunningly beautiful wine that embarrasses expensive white burgundy. The hand-picked Chardonnay grapes come from the best plots and undergo 'Burgundian' winemaking: fermentation in oak casks of at least one year old and bâtonnage (the ripening and stirring of yeast residues).
The result is a complex, full-bodied dry white Beaujolais. With a discreet aroma of oak, lots of finesse and a remarkable drinkability for a wine with so much flavor. Jean-Paul Brun does not add sugar to the must (sugaring), so that the wine retains a naturally low alcohol content.
This striking winemaker almost naturally believes in the positive properties of natural yeast and keeps filtering and clarification to a minimum. In the press, Brun is called an 'anti-star winemaker' whose qualities fortunately do not go unnoticed. For us, with his refined natural wines, he is precisely the man who can be a shining example for other Beaujolais producers.
