Named an “exotic beauty” by importers and “naughty” by others. This red is perhaps the most rustic and understated in the Jean-Louis’ range. Elegant aromas of crisp strawberries, flowers and sweet lemons. Although stunning as is, it could reach its full potential with age!

The Producer

About Dutraive

Fleurie is perhaps one of Beaujolais’ most elegant appellations. It, like the other crus of Beaujolais, is scrunched up in the north half of Beaujolais and are dominated by more the more complex soils: schist and granite. At Jean-Louis’ Fleurie vines, the soil is granite; the exception being the Brouilly, which is on limestone. The vineyards in Fleurie are spread out with quite a different elevation between 250-500 meters. The vines of Dutraive are just a short walk from the town center, which sits around 300 meters. The climate of Beaujolais is semi-continental and is warmer than the rest of Burgundy. In fact, it is one of the warmest places in France during the summer months. Thankfully, they are the eastern foothills of the Massif Central which helps the vineyards cool down at night following hot days. - The Source Imports.
