Jean-Paul Brun strives to make wines of beauty and elegance that are true expressions of their Beaujolais terroir, with age-worthy structures. This Morgon Côte du Py has all these qualities. The Côte du Py vineyard is one of Morgon`s prime plots, being east south-east facing, with complex soils of granite, schists and clay. Jean-Paul tends to 1 hectare of 60-year-old vines here, lying in the Javernières subsection.
Pale ruby-purple colour, aromas are attractively fragrant, evoking black cherries, with a floral, black pepper tone. Palate is full, finely textured and richly rounded. There is vibrant, concentrated, red berry fruitiness, and a long, refreshing finish (for drinking 2024-2028+).
“[This is] a formal, structured, ‘Burgundy-like’ wine with a deep, dark chassis and a series of refreshing tannic waves that rev the palate, demanding great grub and terrific company. This is a celebratory Beaujolais with volume and flair, and it performs like a superstar and will evolve, too, given time. Just brilliant.”

Winemaker
Domaine des Terres Dorées
Jean-Paul Brun took over from his father at the family domaine in 1979 - in 45 years he has transformed Terres Dorées from a small-holding with 4 hectares of vines alongside cows and sheep, to a 50 hectare property, with a reputation as one of the Beaujolais` pre-eminent traditional domaines. His wines are made "the Burgundian way," with hand picking of grapes, careful sorting, destemming and punching down during fermentation. He makes wines of beauty and elegance, that are true expressions of their Beaujolais terroir, with age-worthy structures.
