Bettane & Desseauve
The estate's flagship cuvée is once again astonishing. Here in 2015, it takes us a little further south with its nose of black fruits and sweet spices. Its fruit-driven juice is full-bodied and rich with well-structured tannins. A Beaujolais of great pedigree!

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Based in the small village of Charnay, Jean-Paul Brun is renowned throughout the wine region for his magnificent whites, which almost make us forget his delicious Beaujolais wines, such as Buissy, whose bouquet should be a benchmark for all Beaujolais producers. Cultivating 48 hectares across six different crus, Jean-Paul Brun has been proving himself a great winemaker every year for almost 30 years! In a Burgundian style, where Gamay pinotes (or, if you prefer, Pinot gamaytes), he chisels the noses and refines the palates with delicacy, sometimes in barrels, without ever seeking power. The 2017 vintage, more consistent than 2016, is a success for Jean-Paul Brun, particularly the luminous whites and the ever-exceptional Buissy-l'Ancien.

About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
The influence of the vintage gives it a Rhône-like character: black fruits, sweet spices, and a hint of strawberry compote. The juice is full-bodied and rich in texture, but lacks a touch of liveliness and freshness. It loses some of its deliciousness.
About the estate:
From the luminous land of Pierres Dorées, Jean-Paul Brun, one of the pioneers of the Beaujolais revival, promotes his region, from primeur wines to the renowned vintages he has patiently acquired through his work in southern Beaujolais. Here, the identity of the terroirs is as strong as the digestibility of the vintages, in which we find the winemaker's velvety touch. Proof that it is possible to produce vintages that are both high in volume and high in quality. Whether white or red (and also sparkling), wine lovers are sure to enjoy the consistency of the wines and the personal and flavorful interpretation of the terroirs. He was recently joined by Tristan Larsen to assist him.
