Domaine de la Grand Cour Fleurie Cuvee Vieilles Vignes Champagne Magnum 2023

Grape: Gamay
Vintage: 2023
Type: Red

Presented in a magnum format for slow development, this red wine is sourced from old gamay bush vines in the Champagne parcel of Fleurie. Jean-Louis Dutraive applies low-intervention methods to build a fresh expression of the traditional granitic Beaujolais cru. Spontaneous fermentation relies entirely on native wild yeasts in large neutral concrete tanks, ensuring site transparency. Aged in neutral oak barrels, this bottling emphasizes bright fruit profiles and regional freshness.

It radiates a luminous ruby hue, releasing expressive aromas of tart red currants, pomegranate seeds, and fresh rosemary. On the palate, the light-to-medium body is juicy and direct, focusing on an energetic fruit presentation. Soft, delicate tannins integrate smoothly with a clean mineral baseline that gives the wine excellent lift. A snappy, vibrant acidity cuts through the mid-palate, keeping the mouthfeel light and lively. It finishes dry and clean, leaving a light, savory trail.
