Vintage: 2022
Type: Red
The Jean-Louis Dutraive Domaine de la Grand'Cour Fleurie Clos de la Grand Cour Magnum 2022 offers a captivating expression of Gamay from this esteemed Beaujolais cru. On the nose, it presents a vibrant bouquet of fresh red fruits, predominantly cherry and raspberry, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violet and a subtle hint of spice, perhaps white pepper. The palate is equally expressive, showcasing a juicy and energetic character with a medium body, supported by bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins that provide structure without being aggressive. The magnum format likely contributes to a slower evolution, promising further integration and complexity over time. The finish is persistent and clean, echoing the red fruit and floral nuances, leaving a delightful and elegant impression. This is a Fleurie that beautifully balances its inherent delicacy with a lovely underlying intensity and terroir-driven minerality.
