Jean-Paul Brun / Terres Dorées Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2008


I love the label:

But the wine is even better. Only 12% abv. Light red. Starts quite simple with sweet strawberry - I was a bit disappointed since the '07 was so wonderful immediately upon opening. But half an hour and this became the mineral, deliciously bittersweet, well structured wine that the previous vintage was. Pure Pinosity. The '07 was not only a lovely wine for the "lowly" appellation of Bourgogne Rouge, but was a lovely wine in its own right. And, with short air exposure, so is the '08. Outstanding, if one adores lightness, purity and structure instead of gobbiness.
I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.

How interesting, had no idea he made one. Must be from purchased grapes, but must have a nice Beaujolais sensibility behind it.
