Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)
Moulin-à-Vent Gamay
Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Generous, laden with black raspberry candy, pastille, lavender, blood orange, warm spices, struck rocks, slightly savory and animal. Love how structured this is, persistent and incredibly fine tannin, bursting with Gamay acidity.

Wonderfully enigmatic wine- charming and brooding. Brun makes some of my favorite wines in Beaujolais and the Moulin-à-Vent is perhaps the best and most complex of the line. Powerful floral aromatics- roses and lavender- crunchy red berries and juicy acidity. There’s a hint of smoke, crushed rocks and Brett that enhances the Old World charm. Gorgeous fruit- sweet raspberries, ripe stone fruit. This has a lot going on. Very pretty.

A slightly funky animal aroma, dry dusty earth and dried herbs, some spicy camphor wood (just acquired a fragrant camphor chest so the aroma is at the fore of my mind) . Medium velvety tannins, medium+ acid that is persistent but not very angular. Medium full body and medium long finish.

Ripe red fruit on the nose, specifically cherry. Some forest smells coming through. Starts fruity, but then get some dry, forest floor. Medium bodied. Light mouthfeel. Finish sticks around for a bit.
