A concentrated Beaujolais

Jean Paul Brun is the idiosyncratic and much-discussed winemaker and owner of the Terres Dorées family estate in the south of Beaujolais. He makes authentic, unadulterated wine with great purity of aroma and flavor and a modest alcohol content. Brun was an early adopter of winemakers who, with additives and tricks, create lemonade-like Beaujolais wines that smell of candy and banana.

This Beaujolais cru is much more concentrated than an average Fleurie because Brun has a naturally low yield in the vineyard. The yield per vine is lower, but the harvested grapes are more powerful and flavorful. A beautiful, very pure wine with a long finish.

Wine Magazine Dissertation:
However, the wines are anything but "Parkerian blockbusters" in the form of abundant color, high alcohol, high oak, and abundant body. They excel in digestibility, lightness, and the purest grape expression.
