Jean-Paul Brun 'Le Ronsay' Beaujolais
Regular price $18.99Jean-Paul Brun started his winery in 1979 with a mere 4 hectares of vines in Charnay in the southern Beaujolais, an area which is slightly warmer and more limestone-driven versus the more renowned granite-rich cru villages in the northern Beaujolais.
From the beginning, Jean-Paul carved a different path for himself in Beaujolais. Not only does he not chaptalize (common practice here), he has also always eschewed the relatively modern technique of carbonic maceration, in favor of traditional Burgundian vinification. His feeling was and remains that the character of Gamay and its varied terroirs is obscured by whole-cluster fermentation, as well as by the use of commercial yeasts and copious sulfur.
Le Ronsay is a new wine for Brun, and it's a wine we love! 100% organically grown Gamay, this bursts from the glass with notes of fresh cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Sounds fruity huh? Trust us, with a bit of air, more complex notes of violet, delicate spice, and forest floor emerge. All in all, this medium-bodied, silky textured red is one of the great Gamay values in the marketplace.
