Jean-Paul Brun has spent a career proving that Beaujolais doesn't need carbonic maceration to be great. L'Ancien ("the ancient") is his manifesto bottling: 50- to 80-year-old Gamay from Terres Dorees in southern Beaujolais, destemmed, native-fermented on the skins for four to six weeks in concrete or neutral wood, and raised the way you'd raise a young Burgundy. The result is a Beaujolais that reads more like village-level Cote d'Or than the gulpable Nouveau most people associate with the region: dark cherry, plum, crushed granite, violet, and a fine-grained tannic structure. Drink it now with a bit of a chill, or hold a few years and watch it knit into something Pinot drinkers will mistake for the real thing.

More about Terres Dorees (Jean-Paul Brun)

Jean-Paul Brun refuses to make Beaujolais the modern way. No chaptalization, no commercial yeasts, traditional Burgundian vinification—his Morgon is old-school, serious, and completely delicious. This is what Gamay should taste like.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, coq au vin, charcuterie, or a Lyonnaise salad. Equally at home with mushroom risotto, grilled sausages, herbed lentils, or a board of soft-rind cheeses like saint-marcellin.

Tasting Profile

Deep ruby. Black cherry, fresh plum, violet, crushed granite, and a hint of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, lifted Gamay acidity, and the kind of structured, mineral finish that rewards a small carafe or a few years.
