Terres Dorees (Jean-Paul Brun), l'Ancien, Beaujolais

Good Ripe Beaujolais still with lots of cherry, red fruit and plenty of charm. Still drinking well but I think this vintage of it has peaked. Less lush and full of fruit than it was a couple of years ago.I have one left and will keep it till 2028 just to see where it goes.

2018 vintage

Distinct aromas of raspberry and fresh tobacco. Tastes fully mature now, raspberry infused fruit. Good wine. Good vintage.

2018 vintage

Really singing at the moment. Sweet ripe fruit infused with the aroma of raspberries.

2018 vintage

Garnet, low+ intensity. Developed, medium(-) intensity nose with red sour fruit, forest berries. On the palate dry, medium(+) acidity, low level of finegrained tannins, medium(-) body. 13%. Red ripe still a bit sour lingonberries. Very good length. At its best day three. Juicy nose, spicy, strawberries. Austere mouth with sour red berries. Very good length. Finely textured afterfeel. Energy. Lovely.

2017 vintage

Lovely sweet fruited bottle of this. Good concentration. Fine raspberry fruit. Drinking beautifully.

2018 vintage

Absolutely lovely. This has a few years left on it but we really enjoyed it on a beautiful summer evening. Mint, raspberry, tarragon (thank you to a previous reviewer for pointing this one out). Well balanced. Not overly fruity per prior reviews from 2020. This wine tastes like a breezy walk through a spring meadow. Enjoy!

2018 vintage

First from this vintage. Light at first but it fills out after it has been open an hour. Distinct raspberry flavours. Young still but nice and will go on for a few years yet.

2018 vintage

Great right now.

2017 vintage

90 Un vino muy rico. Granate, poca capa. Nariz sobre todo frutal, cerezas, guindas en licor. En boca es sencillo, directo, limpio, con una acidez excelente y mucha fruta. No es nada complejo, ni lo pretende. Un vino perfecto para disfrutar despreocupadamente entre amigos.

2017 vintage

Typical. Developed, depth and character. Like! /no notes taken/

2017 vintage

Un des meilleurs, compte tenu du prix.

2017 vintage

Bouche précise, belle intensité avec notes de citron. Très rafraîchissant et facile à boire, idéal pour consommer tous les jours.

2017 vintage

Brun's entry level bottling is singing in '18, with red fruit and bright acid on a medium bodied frame. Incredible value.

2018 vintage

Fruity. Raspberry, strawberry, earth, pepper. Easy drinking. Should be chilled to 14-16 °C.

2018 vintage

Decent Bojo for the price.

2017 vintage

Toujours aussi rassasiant année après année. Du beau fruit rouge qui démontre une amplitude bienvenue en bouche avec une pointe de verdeur ajoute à la fraicheur. L'acidité est parfaitement équilibré, rien n'accroche, c'est frais et digeste. Parfait pour boire seul ou avec quelques amuse-gueules à l'apéro !

2017 vintage

Intensive Nase, fruchtiger, nicht besonders tiefgründiger Gamay, Himbeere, Walderdbeere, Kirsche, dezent florale Noten, etwas medizinale Lakritze. Am Gaumen saftig, für 12.5% unheimlich dichtes Extrakt, sehr rund, leicht mineralisch, hält lange nach. Viel besser geht es für das Geld (~ 12 EUR) nicht mehr. Unbedingt gut gekühlt trinken, bei Raumtemperatur fällt das alles auseinander und wird unangenehm flach und süß.

2018 vintage

Overly fruity.

2018 vintage

Medium purple. Lingonberry, pepper, saunavihta (birch whisk), tarragon, mint, raspberry, iron. Very green and herbal. Medium+acidity, medium tannins, dry, light body. Bit raw and young now, has potential to be cellared, I think.

2018 vintage

Great with sun dried pesto pasta.

2018 vintage

Fruity for early drinking

2018 vintage

Improved significantly on day two.

2017 vintage

From memory. Ruby red with lighter rim. Open nose of raspberry. Fresh with somewhat extracted fruit, rustic impression. Good vintage of this. Ok lenght.

2018 vintage

Ok

2018 vintage

This should be better from a great Beaujolais winemaker, even for entry level. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was simply a way to salvage the lowest rung of his 2018 Gamay. Fruity jammy aromas become a sour tart, abrasive over-extraction.

2018 vintage

Nothing to add from previous note. Maybe a little more one dimensional this tasting

2017 vintage

In het glas robijnrood helder. De neus zuiver met rood fruit van bessen, framboos en een klein brandje. Rokerig hout. In de mond gemiddelde zuren en tannine met hetzelfde primaire fruit. De afdronk evenwichtig. Dit is een blij glas. Het heeft body en fruit. Gewoon echt lekker. Goed gemaakt.

2018 vintage

I believe the first time I've had Chardonnay from Beaujolais. Makes me think of a fuller Chablis. Lots of crisp acidity along with prominent apple fruit and some subtle herbal notes. Reasonable QPR at $20USD.

2017 vintage

Pas spécialement bavard ni super plaisant à l'ouverture. Il a été meilleur le lendemain. Un Beaujolais vraiment pas bonbon qui mériterait encore quelques années de cave. Bien pour le prix, mais pas un coup de coeur ici.

2018 vintage

Youthful, vibrant nose packed with crunchy red and black fruits, violets, black olives, damp soil and something meaty. Mid-weight, silky smooth mouthfeel and very good intensity. Juicy black fruit, spices and flowers comes through. Lingering finish. A joy to drink and the bottle was emptied very fast. I've tasted a couple of vintages of this wine and it keeps on delivering great experiences for a great price. Better than many Bojo Crus and for half the price.

2017 vintage

Bien, j'aime beaucoup le style qui fait bourguignon. 3,5/5

2018 vintage

Medium ruby colour. Medium nose with raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and blueberry. Taste of raspberry, strawberry and red cherry. Medium and dry finish. High acidity and low tannins. Medium flavour intensity with a medium body. Goes well with poultry or lean fish.

2017 vintage

One-dimensional

2017 vintage

Light gold color - clear Aromas of ripe golden apples and pineapple with some underlying herbal quality and minerality/ wet rocks Medium palate which completely echoes the nose Medium length with medium acidity A lot of mediums here but thats what I get Simple wine but quite pleasant

2017 vintage

below expectations, not my kind of chardonnay. Good with food but poor alone. Well paired with anchovies with bread and butter and with early moscardini...

2017 vintage

Très beau Chardonnay de J-P Brun, sur les fruits du verger, la pomme golden, touche de miel et caillou mouillé. En bouche grande fraicheur, digeste, longueur moyenne, finale pure et net. Belle surprise.

2017 vintage

Needs a bit of air to open up but fills out nicely; ruby magenta; youthful, fresh and loaded with exhuberant fruit but the acid and savoriness from old vines keeps this interesting, a good quaffed for the cerebral drinker this is just simple enough to throw back comfortably while being above most cru at this same price; drank over 3 days in the fridge, at a cooler temp this works with spicy Mexican food; recommended.

2017 vintage

From memory. PnP. Always a joy to drink. Bright black cherries, some raspberries, herbs, and a bit of earth. Nice acids to keep the wine lively but enough concentration to get your attention. Trades in some of the bright joyfulness of carbonic macerated gamay for a bit more bass notes. Fantastic QPR nonetheless.

2017 vintage

Gamay rond, sans aspérité. Son acidité inférieure à la moyenne le rend très facile, gouleyant, et son fruit se rapproche de la confiture. Bon RQP. (**1/2)

2017 vintage

I love this wine. I don't think I've ever had a vintage that has been anything less than excellent. For me it's the perfect Beaujolais with plenty of summer/ autumn fruits but with a cut to it that makes it extremely refreshing and interesting. It combines the gaiety of Beaujolais with some of the seriousness of Burgundy. £12 at the Wine Society which is great value.

2017 vintage

Second bottle. Funky nose with lingonberries and raspberries. Light and fresh!

2017 vintage

Easy-drinking Bojo, no complexity to speak of. Went down well with grilled chicken.

2017 vintage

Red fruit and lovely acidity. Quite nice for the price!

2017 vintage

Beau nez assez expressif d'épices douces, de cuir et de fruits rouges. En bouche, c'est léger, digeste, quoiqu’acide. Saveur de cerise Peut-être manque-t-il de complexité, de tanin ou de caractère gourmand comme son Morgon, mais très bien quand même.

2017 vintage

Bu chez DODO et Mike. Pour le prix, pas méchant. Simple et léger, gouleyant et digeste, pas long mais rien n`accroche, beau vin de soif.

2017 vintage

Are you sure?
