Fleurie La Tonne Famille Dutraive 2017

The wine

The cuvée La Tonne of the Dutraive family has been made from purchased grapes. The family decided to vinify them following natural methods. Vinification was thus done with indigenous yeasts. The wine has been aged for 18 months in barrels (25% new wood). A great wine for keeping, this Gamay is a fine introduction to the domain's know-how. Its juice and intense fruit will undoubtedly impress you.
