Brun packs a lot of complexity into this wine. Briary, stemmy aromas add a wild touch to the crystalline black fruit, and those same elements re-emerge on the long finish. Crisp and clean, and with enough weight that it’s hard to believe the label’s stated 11% alcohol.

There’s no law that says Beaujolais has to be red, although that’s what most people think. This stellar Chardonnay comes from limestone soils in the very south of Beaujolais and the cuvée imported into the U.S. is made entirely in stainless steel. A small portion of the wine comes from a botrytis-affected parcel, but you don’t really taste its effects so much as sense extra weight on the palate. Pure Chardonnay flavors, with intense concentration, crisp acidity and a long, lingering finish.
