2013 Jean-Paul Brun "Terres Dorees" Chardonnay Beaujolais Blanc

Professional Reviews

Notes

Jean Paul Brun is located in Charnay, a village in the Southern Beaujolais just north of Lyons, in a beautiful area known as the "Region of Golden Stones." Brun is the owner and winemaker at this 40-acre family estate and has attracted the attention of the French and American press for the wonderfully fruity and delicate wines he produces. <br> John Gilman writes, in his "View From the Cellar": "Jean-Paul Brun’s 2013 Beaujolais Blanc is a very pretty example of the vintage and a fine bottle of chardonnay, as it offers up a soil-driven nose of apple, peach, gentle leesy tones, a lovely base of stony soil, white flowers and a bit of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a good core, sound acids, very good focus and balance and a long, classy finish. This is every bit as satisfying as many a top Mâcon and sells for far less, making ita lovely value. 2014-2019." John Gilman,View From The Cellar #52, July-August 2014
