Jean-Paul Brun Terres Dorées l'Ancien Beaujolais 2012
Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceDomaine des Terres Dorées is in a limestone-rich area known as the "Region of the Golden Stones." Sustainably focused and non-interventionist in both the vineyard and winery, Brun is a firm advocate of minimal SO2, natural yeast, old vines and low yields with his wines, and has seen wide critical acclaim for his honest, expressive wines. L'Ancien, from vines 50-80 years old, opens with potent spicy pepper (white and black) and fine rasped fragrant cloves. Bright cherry, dried sage, raspberry and sea salt continue on the juicy palate. Lifted pink grapefruit acidity carries wild berry spices across fine grained, lithely structured tannins and through the lengthy finish. Elegant and honest; a beautiful match for your herb trussed poultry or pork tenderloin.Tasted: 16 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
