Jean Paul Brun Beaujolais L'Ancien

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.

Echeverria Reserva Sauvignon Blanc

The Echeverría family came to Chile in the 1750s, from a little town called Amezqueta in the Basque region of Spain.  They established agricultural crops and planted vines.  Today the company is a global enterprise.  Echeverria has always been at the forefront of the modern Chilean wine industry while honouring tradition and respecting the environment.  This tradition is expressed through their wines which are classic and elegant in style and showcase intense fruit aromas and flavours which are the hallmarks of Chilean wine thanks to the country’s privileged terroir and climatic conditions. Echeverria has an extensive portfolio of over 30 wines from over 10 different grape varieties and several wine growing regions.

Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001. Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.
