DUTRAIVE family - Cap Ô Sud - Cinsault 2021
The Domaine de la Grand'Cour is located in the Beaujolais region, and has vineyards in the appellations of Fleurie (9.7 hectares) and Brouilly (1.8 hectares). The Estate 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. Today, vinification is carried out by Jean-Louis, Ophélie and Lucas Dutraive . The vineyard has always been conducted 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 and produce other wines.
Following the hailstorms suffered on the Grand'Cour estate in 2016 and 2017, Jean-Louis and his children, Lucas, Justin and Ophélie, began to buy grapes which they vinified at the estate. The grapes, selected by them, come from plots cultivated in the spirit of organic farming, certified or not. The wines are produced according to the same philosophy as that of the estate, favoring parcel vinification, without oenological input. Cap ô Sud 2021 is made from Cinsault from the Domaine des Deux Ânes in the Corbières.
Grape variety: 100% Cinsault
