Had some nice wines from this producer in the past, but this 2018 was a total disaster. Liquid rubber anyone? Undrinkable, straight down the drain.

High acid and crunchy berry fruit, but there’s a great deal more. Spice-accented aromas with a violet-like florality. Outstanding framing and depth, with a great sense of finesse on the palate. The minerality and elegance are wonderful. I love Jean-Paul Brun’s wines more all the time. This is one of his finest.

Next up from the 2009 line up is Jean Paul Brun. Wow, what a serious wine! Power, fruit, body and totally luscious. The fruit is balanced by loads of spice. Slick, smooth mouth feel. I don't have much experience with this producer's older vintages, but this is a home run. Total cross over appeal for everyone from the hardened burgundy fiend to people looking for something simply delicious.

It's too easy to find other examples of great Morgon, but this is an exciting Beaujolais from Jean-Paul Brun. Very powerful, rich & textural Morgon.

Classic Morgon, great at the table and not to be shunned while cleaning up after dinner either.

Big, bruising Morgon that held up quite nicely over 3 days. Dense, layered and nicely extracted, with ample berry fruit and a floral element. Hard not to like this. I didn’t get any of the reduction that the previous taster notes

Dig this wine. Tart yet granitic. Sharp but buoyant. People can keep thinking Beaujolais is all about Nouveau. Leaves more of the good stuff for me!

Continue to love this producer. Dark cherry candy with cinnamon red hot, anise, sage, a little mushroom, juicy and bright with so much savory. Textural pleasure. One of my faves of the night.
