Jean Paul Brun - Terres Dorées

The Domaine des Terres Dorées is run by Jean-Paul Brun, one of the region's finest winemakers, who manages to capture the qualities of the Beaujolais terroirs in his wines with astonishing naturalness.

A conscientious and passionate winemaker, Jean-Paul Brun works with Gamay and Chardonnay grapes with the utmost care, constantly striving to ensure that the terroir expresses its many facets. The vines are monitored from the first bud until harvest, with minimal intervention. The grapes are only harvested when fully ripe. In the cellar, the grapes ferment with yeasts from the terroir to produce an authentic wine. Domaine des Terres Dorées has also begun vinifying three small plots of Pinot Noir using the Burgundy method, with very promising results.

Domaine des Terres Dorées has set itself a new mission to meet the demand from wine lovers looking for "authentic Beaujolais" wines, in partnership with a few other winegrowers. Good Chardonnay plots have been selected in the surrounding communes and are vinified at the estate. The vinification of other Beaujolais crus is also now being explored, notably with the discovery of some very fine terroirs and excellent winemakers in Moulin-à-Vent and Côte de Brouilly.
