100% Gamay. L'Ancien comes from Jean Paul's oldest Charnay vines ranging 40-60 years old. Planted on slopes sporting the area's signature sandy clay-limestone soils, featuring the particular local "dorée" or "golden" limestone that is laden with iron.These organically farmed, small, thick-skinned Gamay berries are some of the few that use spontaneous fermentation in Beaujolais - so less banana candy, more delicious red fruit. The vinification is traditional Burgundian instead of carbonic - the grapes are sorted and destemmed, crushed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. The wine is aged in concrete until May-June after the vintage.
"The 2019 Beaujolais “l’Ancien” from Jean-Paul Brun is an excellent wine in the making, offering up a beautifully red fruity and transparent bouquet of cherries, cranberries, sweet stem tones, a superb base of soil, just a touch of thyme and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is bright and complex with lovely fruit, excellent mineral undertow, just a touch of backend tannin and a focused but complex finish. 2019 is drinkable out of the blocks, but built to age, and will be even better in three to five years. This is a superb vintage for this iconic bottling. 2021-2035+. " John Gilman, A View From The Cellar
