Description
WINEMAKER: Jean-Louis Dutraive
REGION: Beaujolais, FR
VARIETAL: Gamay
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic
This Fleurie cuvée comes from a single plot, "Les Déduits", located to the east of the Fleurie appellation on fairly deep, granitic soil. The vines are 50 years old, certified organic and face south-east at an altitude of 240m. The grapes were hand harvested and vinified in concrete vats using carbonic maceration and indigenous yeast. The wine was moved to demi-muid and barrels for 7 months ageing before being bottled unfined and unfiltered with very little or no sulphur. Often the most delicate, feminine wine of the group with lots of freshness, lift and a violet and cherry fruit punch. Light cherry red with nose of potpourri, raspberry and cranberry with a dusting of spice. So light but so concentrated. On the palate, rich sweet spice with clear juicy red fruits and a fresh mineral undercurrent.
The Beaujolais of the Dutraive family, Domaine de la Grand’Cour/Jean-Louis Dutraive in particular, are now as sought after as Metras, Foillard and Lapierre - though much harder to find. The micro-negoce Famille Dutraive was created in 2017 after 2 consecutive years’ of devasting hail losses to Domaine de la Grand’Cour. To relieve the financial stress on the family Jean-Louis teamed up with his children Ophélie, Justin and Lucas. It has quickly evolved as a family project constant; an aside from the other more individual projects and domaines.

We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
