Fleurie Le Pied de la Rue Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2018

The wine

The Gamay grapes from this cuvée have benefited from organic cultivation in pink granite soils, and have been harvested by hand before undergoing semi-carbonic maceration without the addition of sulphur and non-native yeasts. The wine is then matured in stainless steel tanks, foudre tuns and oak casks. Produced in small quantities, it is prized for the finesse and freshness of its fruit.
