Tasting notes Jean-Paul Brun Beaujolais Blanc Vinification Bourguignonne
Dry white wine with a refined aroma of ripe yellow fruit, slightly toast and light oak. The taste is round, full and balanced and ends freshly aromatic.
Description
White Beaujolais does that exist? Yes and how! Jean-Paul Brun makes an amazingly beautiful wine that embarrasses expensive white burgundy. The hand-picked chardonnay grapes come from the best plots and undergo the 'Burgundian' winemaking: fermentation on oak casks of at least one year old and bâtonnage (ripening and stirring of yeast).
The result is a complex full dry white beaujolais. With a discrete aroma of oak a lot of finesse and a remarkable drinkability for a wine with so much flavor. Jean-Paul Brun does not add sugar to the must (chaptalisation), so that the wine retains a naturally low alcohol content.
This striking winemaker almost naturally believes in the positive properties of natural yeast and limits filtration 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 the man who can be a shining example to other Beaujolais producers.
