Famille DUTRAIVE - Saint Amour - Clos du Chapitre 2018
The Domaine de la Grand'Cour is located in the Beaujolais region, and has vineyards in the appellations of Fleurie (9 hectares) and Brouilly (1.6 hectares). The Domaine was bought in 1969 by Jean Dutraive, it is one of the oldest estates in Fleurie. Jean Dutraive was joined by his son Jean-Louis in 1977 and succeeded him definitively in 1989. The vineyard has always been managed in organic farming, and has been certified since 2009. The Dutraive family also has a trading activity; they source their grapes from organic winegrower friends to make wines.
Le Clos du Chapitre is a “trade cuvée”, a wine made from the purchase of Gamay grapes grown on a stony plot in Saint-Amour according to the regulations of organic farming, but still in the conversion process. The grapes are harvested then vinified and aged by Jean-Louis at the Domaine.
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
