2022 Famille Dutraive Beaujolais Village 'Lantignie'

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.

Lantignie comes from Gamay vines planted on the sandy loam soils of a south-facing vineyard at 370 metres elevation. Red cherry and wild strawberry are layered with violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes. Fragrant and finely textured, the palate combines pure red fruit with silky tannins and bright, balanced acidity. Elegant and restrained, the wine carries a gentle mineral character through a long, fresh and persistent finish.
