2017 Jean-Paul Brun Terres Dorées Beaujolais Morgon

Tasting notes Jean-Paul Brun Beaujolais Morgon

Beautiful full red wine with the smell of ripe red fruit and a pure full but balanced taste. Fine with spicy starters or spicy meat dishes.

Description

Jean Paul Brun is the quirky and much discussed winemaker and owner of the Terres Dorées family estate in the south of the Beaujolais. He makes authentic, unaffected wine with great purity in smell and taste and a modest alcohol content. Brun went early against the tide of winemakers who, with additives and artifices, make lemon-like Beaujolais that smells of sweets and bananas.

Morgon is seen by many as one of the most interesting cru areas because of the fresh and powerful style of the wines. Jean Paul Brun's vineyard is located in the south of Morgon on a volcanic surface. This is a wonderful culinary wine that works best in combination with dishes.

Wine magazine Thesis:
The wines, however, are anything but 'Parkerian blockbusters' in the form of lots of alcohol, lots of alcohol and a lot of matter. They excel in digestibility of lightness and the purest grape expression.
