What have we, here? (JP Brun)

[Sharon Bowman]

Sorry for the rotten picture; my normal camera is battery dead and the cell phone can only capture so many megapixels.

Opened this 2007 Beaujolais from Monsieur Jean-Paul Brun, for which it is specified on the back label, "This terroir-driven wine has naturally fermented with yeasts present on the skin of the grapes."

Super yum. Good body to it, surprising to me for the vintage, with a tannic kick at the end. Battled roast chicken and sweet potato mash and won (well, the pairing won).

How is this bottle related to others of Brun's?

It's the Cuve Premire!

That is, his first and earlier bottling.

This delicious wine is not imported to the United States.

Written in French I presume?

You're full of bad news today Joe.

Rahsaan, yes.

Joe, thanks for the information. It is a great wine and a screaming deal; I am going to buy much more.

Is this what used to be labeled young vines or something like that way back when?
