| Winery: | Famille Dutraive |
| Description: | From a single vineyard "Le Clos du Chapitre", composed of terroir is very rocky with old alluvial deposits (260m high). Located on a plateau in the Eastern part of the appellation and in Organic conversion. Vinification in concrete tanks and then ageing in 60% oak barrels and 40% stainless steel for 6 months. When Jean Dutraive purchased the Domaine de la Grand'Cour in 1969, it was already one of the oldest domaines in Fleurie. The Domaine encompasses 9 hectares divided between three contiguous terroirs: Grand'Cour, Chapelle des Bois, and Champagne. The family also has 1.6 hectares of Brouilly that have been in the family for five generations. Jean-Louis joined his father in 1977, and took over the domaine in 1989. The domaine has been certified organic since 2009, but practicing organic for decades prior. Jean-Louis strives to make vins de terroir above all else, and follows the same principles of winemaking for each of his cuvées - hand harvesting, whole-cluster carbonic fermentation without any added sulfur, native yeast and no intervention or addition of oenologic products. Jean-Louis is a true master of Gamay. In addition to his masterful skill producing some of the best wines in the Beaujolais, he is also a local legend who seems to have a never-ending supply of saucisson that appears at apéros any time of day. |
