Brouilly Vieilles Vignes Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2006

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 Veilles Vignes cuvée from Brouilly comes from vines aged 60 to 70 years and is matured for 11 months in oak. Ripe red fruit (kirsch) and toasty aromas can be found.
