    Product description

    Rated as one of the ‘four star’ producers in Beaujolais by Robert Parker, Jean Paul Brun aims to produce old fashioned Gamay. Using indigenous yeasts and traditional winemaking techniques from Burgundy, his artisanal wines have structure and character.

    L’Ancien is sourced from Jean Paul’s oldest vines (40 to 60 years old) planted on sandy clay-limestone slopes. Grapes are destemmed and aged in concrete vats for 9 months, allowing the wine to express the purity of fruits and character of its terroir. Intense aromas of ripe raspberry and cherry fruits. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins well-balanced with a sharp acidity and a good length.

    Awards

    The 2020 Beaujolais l’Ancien soars from the glass with scents of cherries, red fruit compote and plums. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's rich and enveloping, with succulent acids and an expansive finish. More gourmand than its 2019 counterpart, it's a dramatic, appealing wine that's already drinking well.

    - 91 pts William Kelley, Wine Advocate

    This wine is way more than you expect from basic Beaujolais, with generous red-berry and cherry fruit, plus positive, supple tannins and crisp acidity that together make this taste much lighter than you expect for 13.5% alcohol. Good length, too! Drink now.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Domaine Terres Dorées

    Located in Charnay, north of Lyon, Domaine Terres Dorees has attracted the attention of the French and American press and, was recently rated as one of the ‘four star’ producers in Beaujolais by Robert Parker. Jean Paul Brun, owner and winemaker, aims to produce old fashioned Beaujolais style. Using traditional winemaking techniques from Burgundy, where no semi carbonic maceration takes place but instead destemming of the grapes and long maceration with pigeage, his artisanal wines have structure and character and reflect their terroir but also his sensibility. His belief is that the Gamay grape expresses itself best at a lower degree of alcohol and by using grape’s indigenous yeasts. View our selection.

    Vineyards

    Jean Paul started Terres Dorées in 1979 with 4 hectares of vines in Charnay, southern Beaujolais, which benefits from a slightly warmer weather.
