Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceFRV100 = F R V Cent = Effervescent. Classic Jean-Paul Brun, and his wry, smart take on the wines of his Beaujolais homeland. Brun is the elder statesman of Beaujolais non-interventionist winemaking, and Terres Dorées is his realm of the golden (clay-limestone) slopes in the south of Bojo, where he is based. It is gamay, left deliberately sweet, and flush with sugared strawberry, pear gummies, candy apples. Acidity holds bright and riveting. Brun was the first to do a pét-nat in Bojo, 15 years ago. Back then, it was 65 g/l RS and has dropped to 35 g/l over the years—a lovely 7.5% pink fizz, ready for brunch, or light fruit desserts.Tasted: 24 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceProduced in the ancestral method, this disgorged (clear) pet nat gamay rosé opens with sweet strawberry jam and fragrant raspberry blossoms before a fine, grippy riff on the finish, afforded by the granite soils and minimal intervention in the vineyard or winery. Perfumed, pretty, off dry and bright, and far too easily gulpable at 7.5% alcohol.Tasted: 31 January 2017Tasted by: Prices:
