Fleurie Champagne - Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2018

Domaine de le Grand’Cor is owned by the Dutraive family. Their Gamay is produced under the Fleurie and the Brouilly appellations. The domain covers 11.7 hectacres and has held organic certification since 2009. Jean-Louis Dutraive does everything he can to allow the terroir be reflected in his wines. He vinifies without the use of sulfites and at low temperatures. He also uses natural yeasts and carbonic maceration. His wines are natural and are neither filtered nor clarified. It is a domain that has now established itself amongst the best that Beaujolais has to offer.

This cuvée comes from vines aged around 70 years and spends 12 months maturing in oak barrels (25% of which are new). It’s generally agreed that this wine pleases both lovers of delicate and velvety wines and those who like powerful wines as it successfully combines these two characteristics.
