Domaine des Terres Dorées Moulin à Vent "La Rochelle"

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.

Brilliant ruby. Heady, mineral-accented cherry, cassis and floral pastille scents, along with hints of Indian spices and licorice. Sappy, impressively concentrated blackberry and bitter cherry flavors smoothly blend richness and finesse and pick up a smoky nuance with aeration. For its richness, this wine is showing excellent clarity and nerviness. Closes very long and sweet, displaying suave, interwoven tannins and an echo of ripe dark fruit... - Vinous (2015 vintage)
