an above average bottle for sure, but missing something. it smells great, but not very comlplex, the palate is very nice though with good fruit and cooling herbs, good minerality. lovely with dinner, but not memorable enough to focus on midst all of the beaujolais out there now.

(Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Côte de Brouilly) Dark cherry red color; tart red fruit, mineral palate with juice and a firm mineral core; medium-plus finish 91+ pts.
(Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Côte de Brouilly) Dark red violet color with pale meniscus; focused charcoal, savory nose with a green note; complex, ripe red and black fruit, smoke and charcoal palate; medium finish
(Jean Paul Brun "Terres Dorees" Cote de Brouilly) It will be very hard for JP Brun to follow up his world-beating set of 2005's. This was very good but not in the same playing field as the '05. Done in a lighter style with a lighter color than the 2005. Ripe berry fruit with great purity and sleek refined tannins. Good wine and glad I drank it but that is it for me on this bottle.

Smell is cherries and floral. Taste is similar with some earth. Very young.
