Of the 11.5 hectares of vineyards, 9.7 hectares are in the Fleurie appellation (on parcels named Grand Cour, Chapelle des Bois and lieu-dit Champagne). The remaining 1.8 hectares are AOC Brouilly. The entire vineyard is farmed using traditional methods, with no chemical fertilisers or weedkillers. Vinification is carried out without sulphur, using indigenous yeasts and at low temperature, with carbonic maceration. Domaine Grand Cour wines are unfiltered or unfiltered, matured in oak barrels and tuns, and are above all wines of the terroir, allowing the land and the work of winemaker Jean Louis Dutraive to express themselves. What makes Domaine Grand Cour wines so special is their superb finesse and fruitiness. What all the Grand Cour cuvées have in common is their extremely light colour, the result of deliberately low-intervention vinification methods. Infusion is slow, to the detriment of extraction, which makes the domaine's cuvées very endearing and models of purity of juice. The wines should be drunk young after a light decanting, but they are never as good as when they have been allowed to age for 5 to 7 years, revealing all the nobility of their terroir. Clos de la Grand Cour lies to the south of the Fleurie appellation on a plateau at an altitude of around 300 metres. The 6.4 hectare parcel, a monopoly of the Dutraive family, is planted on more or less deep soils on granitic parent rock. This Fleurie cuvée comes from the slightly younger vines of the Clos, 45 years old on average, which cover just under 5 hectares of the plot. Yields are low, often less than 30 hectolitres per hectare, and the grapes are vinified in vats, then matured 50% in barrels and 50% in oak casks for 7 to 8 months. This "Clos de la Grand Cour" cuvée has a bouquet of small, crisp reds that blossom in the glass, accompanied by scents of violets, iris and liquorice. On the palate, the wine is extremely greedy, delivering a smooth, flavoursome sap of fresh red fruit. A real gourmet nectar. The "Champagne" cuvée is slender and superb, with velvety tannins, deliciously reminiscent of candied cherries. As the Domaine de la Grand Cour is short of wines, Jean Louis Dutraive buys some grapes from a few winegrower friends in the Beaujolais region, in order to complete his range, but he remains the guarantor of the extreme quality of the raw material as well as the vinification, to which he brings his own touch and experience. Jean-Louis DUTRAIVE produces great Beaujolais wines to be discovered or rediscovered, and the success of Domaine Grand Cour has never been denied.
