La Fontaine A Beaujolais

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2011

This aged Beaujolais is just gorgeous, crushed red berries, minerals, floral, great acidity, long, lingering finish, could easily evolve another 5 years in a cold cellar, truly an outstanding wine from a great Beaujolais vintage!! — 10 months ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2015

Great ruby appearance with smells of creamy vanilla, orange citrus, rhubarb and sour cherry. Also a slight sweetness. Tastes of Strawberry, bubblegum or candy floss and jammy notes. A medium length with
good balance with fresh acidity. Extremely enjoyable.

Eponym' Les Charmes Morgon Gamay 2013

Nose is very complex, with a sweet musky component, cinnamon, ripe cherry, and cracked stones. Opens in a surprisingly lean fashion that initially shows little fruit but then transitions to pure cherry fruit and clean stony notes as the long finish progresses. Light bodied and with crisp acids. Very distinctive style.

UPDATE: Night 2: more traditionally Beaujolais-like on the nose, with the sweet muskiness receding and intensely granitic minerality and tart cherries in the fore. In the mouth, the pungency of the tart cherry fruit is almost SweeTart-candy-like. Mouth-watering acids in the long finish. Upping it from a 9.0 to a 9.2.

Cru Beaujolais from a classic producer. Tons of tart red berries, little wet rock, some forest floor. Medium acidity and long finish. Yum. — 4 years ago

Régnié Gamay 2018

Notes on the nose of dark raspberry, grape candy, black cherry, a touch of spice and flowers. There’s also an earthy meatiness which starts off stronger, but then quiets down and melts into the background. On the palate blackberry compote with black licorice, singed blackberry bramble, and dark flowers, a smattering of red berries and few sprigs of herbs to the mix. The fruit had a nice balance being just at the midpoint of being tart and ripe.

Paired with focaccia and cheese plate.

Beaujolais Gamay 2015

Taking it to a rich, yet extremely ethereal level for Beaujolais. Forget that lipstick and classic bojo terroir, this is its own Metras signature. Classic rich rose water. I can't wait to let this sit for a while too. Once that intensity fades this is going to be pure silk. — 9 years ago
