Jean Paul Brun Morgon Cote du Py – Javernieres (750ml)

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.
