Jean Paul Brun/Terres Dorees Beaujolais Nouveau 2024 750ml

Jean-Paul Brun has gone against the grain in Beaujolais since his first vintage of Terres Dorées
in 1977. He has always eschewed carbonic maceration in favor of traditional Burgundian
vinification, not just for his cru wines but also for his nouveau. Terres Dorées nouveau stands
apart for other reasons too: estate fruit, older vines, sustainable farming, no chaptalization,
native-yeast fermentation and a longer fermentation/aging than most. It is fittingly quaffable
but also relatively structured, spicy and long.
