Jean-Paul Brun Beaujolais Le Ronsay 2022

served @ DB's "Red's and White's for Seafood Tasting"

Jean Paul Brun is located in Charnay, a village in the Southern Beaujolais just north of Lyon, in a beautiful area known as the "Terres Dorées" or Region of Golden Stones. Brun is the owner and winemaker at this 60+ hectare family estate and has attracted the attention of the French and American press for the wonderfully fruity and delicate wines he produces.

Brun wants to make "old-style" Beaujolais and his vinification differs from the prevailing practices in the region. He believes that the charm of Gamay's fruit is best expressed by the grapes' indigenous yeasts, rather than by adding industrial yeast. Virtually all Beaujolais is now made by adding a particular yeast during fermentation. Known as 71B, this yeast is a laboratory product made in Holland from a tomato base, which imparts wines with banana and candy aromas. It produces a beverage, but with no authenticity and little charm. Brun, on the other hand, wants to make a pure Gamay wine.

Tasting Notes: This is Gamay at its purest and most drinkable. Brun is a master of the variety, and his Le Ronsay showcases his signature silkiness along with a Burgundian balance rarely found at this price point. Offering up aromas and flavors of freshly-picked cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, this opens up to reveal more complex notes of spice and violet.
