Jean-Louis Dutraive is the fourth-generation vigneron behind Domaine de la Grand'Cour in Fleurie, one of the benchmark estates for naturally made Beaujolais. His family holdings include old vines in Fleurie, Brouilly and Brouilly's neighboring crus, with the core of the domaine centered on organically farmed vineyards around the Grand'Cour property. Dutraive's wines are made with native yeasts, whole clusters, long semi-carbonic fermentations and very little sulfur, giving them the lifted aromatics and silky structure that make Fleurie feel both delicate and complete. They are transparent wines, but never fragile, full of red fruit, flowers and granite energy.
