Reviews — Natural Wine

Fleurie has a reputation for perfume, delicacy and charm—qualities that can sometimes lead people to underestimate it. Jean‑Louis Dutraive’s Domaine de la Grand’Cour is the antidote to that lazy assumption. His wines are unmistakably Fleurie in their floral character and drinkability, but they also have old-vine concentration, granite-driven structure and the kind of quiet authority that makes great Beaujolais feel far more consequential than its price or label might imply.
