Beaujolais, France

Domaine des Terres Dorées is a Beaujolais producer, located in Charnay, a village to the north of Lyon, France. It is the estate of noted Beaujolais vigneron Jean-Paul Brun. Domaine des Terres Dorées' wine portfolio includes the appellations of Morgon, Fleurie, Côte de Brouilly, Moulin-à-Vent, and Beaujolais AOC. Jean-Paul Brun produces atypical Beaujolais with Burgundian winemaking practices. The Terres Dorées estate was originally a family farm with Jean-Paul's father planting 4 hectares (9.8 acres) to vines. Grapes were sold to a local cooperative until 1977 when Jean-Paul expressed an interest in winemaking. The following year Domaine des Terres Dorées was established and is dedicated almost completely to the production of Gamay.
