Brun Nouveau

[Thor]

Otto, Joel's got a picture and a proto-note here for a PUR bottling, though the nomenclature appears to be different.

I was told this is some sort of cult producer among natural wine producers.

Now that's a frightening thought.

I've never tried the Brun Nouveau, but I was given another bottle of Nouveau this year that I liked (unlike all others I have ever been subjected to). I got a bottle of P-U-R (Production Unique Rebelle) Beaujolais Nouveau Sans sucre ajout 2010. 11% abv. Light, refreshing, wonderfully pure Gamay aromas; pleasantly tannic and acidic, so it isn't just vibrant fruit though it has that, too.

So what is this producer? I hadn't heard of it before, yet when I was given the bottle, I was told this is some sort of cult producer among natural wine producers. Any info on them?

PUR is the name of Cyril Alonzo's ngoce operation.

Thanks Eric, but nor does that name say anything to me. I must not have been paying attention.

Christophe Pacalet's (any relation to the Volnay/Pommard Pacalet?) is singing right now. It has, dare a say it, some structure and tannin behind ebullient, glowing, youthful red fruit...
