Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)
L'Ancien Vieilles Vignes Beaujolais Gamay



The nose on this last night screamed “Pair Me Wit Yo Turkey Day Feast!”…but the minerality and tannin of this #oldvine #BoJo planted to “golden" limestone slopes that are laden with iron made the palate pairing a bit awkward last night…
BUT a day of air and she is K!LL!NG it w tonight’s leftovers!!! So still a heady perfume of pastilles and flowers but the currant, cherry and raspberry really comes through assisting wifey’s incredible cranberry sauce in LIFTING THA FLAVA from the plate!

Missing the carbonic maceration notes I was looking for. A bit more serious instead.

Nope, not complicated. Yup, pretty tasty. Not the best vintage I've ever drunk, but I'm not complaining. The bottle was emptied pretty quickly.

Big plums and cherries, maybe a little cinnamon? Lighter body, maybe a little carbonic tasting? Light tannins at the end. I like it but not super exciting?

Looked on google for pairing, this came up for corned beef and cabbage, perfect for St. Paddy’s Day!

Not complicated, a decent weekday drop. Typical Pinot and Gamay mineral qualities. Value patio red.
