Grand Cour Fleurie Clos De La Grand Cour Dutraive

| Description: | Jean-Louis is a devout practitioner of organic viticulture and the property has been certified by Ecocert since 2009, though was practicing organic for many years before that. Harvest at Dutraive is done by hand and grapes are immediately placed in tank at low temperatures to begin carbonic maceration (without sulfur). The wines ferment naturally with indigenous yeasts. They age in the cellar for a period of 6-15 months, depending on the cuve. Elevage typically occurs in used burgundy barrels, although Jean-Louis also uses Foudre for some of the cuvees. Minimal S02 is added during the lvage. And in general, no fining and filtration is used unless absolutely required. Complex aromas of dusty earth, red fruit and black pepper give way to flavors of tart raspberries, blackberries, dry earth, savory herbs, hints of cedar and nutmeg. Tannins are smooth and they last into the very long finish. |
