Domaine des Terres Dorées Brouilly “Pisse Vieille”

Jean-Paul Brun is one of the characters of the Beaujolais district. From his winery in Charnay, several kilometres to the south-west of Villefranche (deep in the “unfashionable” southern part of the Beaujolais) since 1979, he has run a 30 ha Domaine, including 15 ha located throughout the famous crus further north, all producing high quality, original and passionately authentic wines in the old-school style. Jean-Paul Brun’s wines are the antithesis of modern, commercial Beaujolais: wines vinified in total respect of the individual terriors and each expressing its own true, distinctive character.

Bright violet. Ripe and expansive on the nose, showing excellent clarity and lift to the dark berry, cherry, licorice and spicecake scents. Palate-coating blackberry, bitter cherry and violet pastille flavors are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of white pepper. In a round, ample style, finishing very long, gently tannic and broad and leaving a sweet dark berry note behind... - Vinous (2015 vintage)
