2009 Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Moulin-à-Vent - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Moulin-à-Vent (3/16/2021)
Last bottle, and a very good bottle indeed. This is the most "Pinoted" of all six bottles I owned. It struck me as a lovely, properly aged Bourgogne from first sniff and sip. Not exalted at all, but comforting, like the warm blankets of the bed at home. Still showing red fruit, and also distinct earthy and leafy tones, and the only Gamay tell was the brightness of the fruit, and maybe (even perhaps in my imagination) a hint of watermelon bubblegum. It was so lovely that I drank through it rather too quickly, and it was all I could do to leave a few sips to guide me through writing this note. Goodbye old friend.
