Cote de Brouilly Jean Paul Brun Terres Dorees 2021

Jean Paul Brun’s Cote de Brouilly is a fresh and medium bodied wine that is bursting with vibrant red summer berry fruit. There are lovely cherry notes, dark strawberry and black cherries on the finish. There is also an underlying spice note that brings the whole wine together. Aged in concrete, the wine is fresh, minerally and full of joy!

Jean-Paul is a very traditional winemaker who makes food-friendly wines of serious note at Domaine Terres Dorees. There is great complexity and concentration, along with the juicy fruit associated with Beaujolais, in his wines. He achieves this with minimum intervention and steers clear of manipulating the wines via carbon maceration, thermo-vinification and yeast inoculation which have become the norm in Beaujolais. He also believes his wines taste better at lower alcohol levels so does not add extra sugar (chapitalise) to raise alcohol levels.
