Reviews 93 points Vinous "Limpid violet. Pungent, oak-spiced red and blue fruit and floral scents are lifted by a smoky mineral note and a hint of white pepper. Palate-staining black raspberry, boysenberry and cola flavors show excellent clarity and back-end thrust. Finishes sappy, sweet and impressively long, featuring subtle vanilla and floral pastille notes. (JR)"

About Jean-Louis Dutraive
Jean-Louis' skill in winemaking is evident in his dedication to natural, low-intervention techniques. He practices hand harvesting, allows carbonic fermentation using indigenous yeasts, and avoids additives. The resultant wines bear an unmistakable signature of lush floral and spicy aromas, robust minerality, and vibrant acidity, presenting a thrilling balance between the boldness of the terroir and the freshness of Gamay.
These vintages are also praised for their significant aging potential, showcasing the potential of Beaujolais wines for longevity. Jean-Louis’s commitment to fostering community and promoting natural farming extends beyond his own vineyard gates. His home and cellar doors are always open for young vignerons, providing a platform for mentorship and shared experiences.
Since 2016, the Dutraive family label has expanded to include the contributions of Jean-Louis's children, Justin, Ophélie, and Lucas. Under this label, the family curates fruit from organically farmed plots and employs the same winemaking philosophy as their own domaine.
With wines that beautifully articulate the uniqueness of each terroir and a steadfast commitment to organic practices, Jean-Louis Dutraive and his family have positioned themselves at the pinnacle of Beaujolais winemaking.
