The estate of Domaine de la Grand Cour dates back to 1969 when it was purchased by Jean Dutraive, making it one of the oldest in the village of Fleurie. Jean Dutraive was joined by his son and fifth-generation vigneron Jean-Louis in 1977. By 1989, the reins were fully in Jean-Louis’ capable hands. The heart of the property are the lieux-dits of Clos de la Grand Cour, Chapelle des Bois and Champagne which make up a total of 23 acres of vines in Fleurie, surrounding the house and cellars. Jean-Louis is a devout practitioner of organic viticulture and the property has been certified by ECOCERT since 2009, though he was practicing organic for many years before that. The wines of Jean-Louis Dutraive are some of the most unique aromatically and texturally in all of Beaujolais. As exemplified here, they display an almost exotic floral and spicy aroma overlayed over lush minerally Gamay fruit, and there is also a textural lushness and exuberance backed up by ample structure and acid. These are substantial Beaujolais that have the requisite material to develop and evolve over the medium term, i.e. 10-12 years of aging, easily.
