2021 Famille Dutraive Fleurie 'Les Deduits'

Place: Beaujolais, France

Variety: Gamay

Farming: Organic

Famille Dutraive was established in 2016 by Jean-Louis Dutraive and his children, Justin, Ophélie and Lucas, as an extension of the family's celebrated Domaine de la Grand'Cour in Fleurie. Working with carefully selected, organically farmed vineyards across Beaujolais, they maintain the same philosophy of whole-bunch fermentation, minimal intervention and a precise expression of individual terroirs.

Les Deduits comes from 50-year-old Gamay vines rooted in the granitic soils of eastern Fleurie. Red cherry and raspberry are layered with violet, rose petal, subtle spice and a delicate mineral character. Fragrant and finely structured, the palate combines silky tannins with bright, beautifully integrated acidity. The cooler 2021 vintage brings elegance and restraint, carrying the wine through a long, fresh and savoury finish.
