Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2015
...a beautifully pure and promising example of the vintage, with the inherent structural chassis one would expect from both the appellation and the vintage, coupled with really lovely, ripe, but far from overripe fruit. The outstanding bouquet delivers a youthful constellation of sweet dark berries, black cherries, chicory, a touch of graphite, dark soil tones, fresh thyme, incipient pigeon and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is very pure, soil-driven and nicely full-bodied, with ripe, seamless tannins, excellent depth at the core, bright, ripe acids and outstanding length and grip on the nascently complex finish. This has marvelous inner-mouth tension for a 2015 and is a great wine in the making. John Gilman, A View from the Cellar

Generous, laden with black raspberry candy, pastille, lavender, blood orange, warm spices, struck rocks, slightly savory and animal. Love how structured this is, persistent and incredibly fine tannin, bursting with Gamay acidity.

Wonderfully enigmatic wine- charming and brooding. Brun makes some of my favorite wines in Beaujolais and the Moulin-à-Vent is perhaps the best and most complex of the line. Powerful floral aromatics- roses and lavender- crunchy red berries and juicy acidity. There’s a hint of smoke, crushed rocks and Brett that enhances the Old World charm. Gorgeous fruit- sweet raspberries, ripe stone fruit. This has a lot going on. Very pretty.

Strawberry, blueberry, and ripe cherry, almost verging on stewy. A slightly funky animal aroma, dry dusty earth and dried herbs, some spicy camphor wood (just acquired a fragrant camphor chest so the aroma is at the fore of my mind) . Medium velvety tannins, medium+ acid that is persistent but not very angular. Medium full body and medium long finish.

Ripe red fruit on the nose, specifically cherry. Some forest smells coming through. Starts fruity, but then get some dry, forest floor. Medium bodied. Light mouthfeel. Finish sticks around for a bit.
