Domaine des Terres Dorées is the name of Jean-Paul Brun’s estate in the village of Charnay located within the Cote de Brouilly cru in southern Beaujolais. Jean-Paul established his estate in 1979. From the beginning, his goal has been to grow grapes and make wines that showcase terroir. Jean-Paul prefers to treat his Gamay like red Burgundy and opts for a more traditional approach to winemaking; that is he is not in favour of carbonic maceration as he feels it masks the terroir of Beaujolais. He sorts the fruit by hand, destems encourages long and slow ferments and uses only indigenous yeasts. Today he produces wines from a few of the Beaujolais crus.
Tasting Notes
Layers of red berries, floral notes and graphite on the nose. The palate is fresh and bright and as the name implies, it is a lovely wine! Light to medium on the palate, poised and elegant and ideal for sipping with light fare like chicken salad, grain bowls, cured meats, soft cheeses.
Method
This wine is from the Saint Amour cru, which is northernmost and the newest of the 10 Beaujolais crus and is said to make wines that are soft and elegant in style.
Jean Paul Brun’s wine’s undergo natural wild yeast fermentation, he used minimal SO2 at bottling and you might note a slight livelyliness on the palate when you taste his wine’s as he choses to leave some CO2 (a natural bi-product of fermentation) in the wine at bottling as it naturally protects wines from oxidation and brings freshness.
