Domaine de la Grand'Cour 'La Chapelle des Bois' Fleurie

Gamay

Beaujolais, France

Founded in 1969 by fourth generation vigneron Jean Dutraive, Domaine de la Grand’Cour lies about 300 meters outside the town center of Fleurie. The domaine consists of 8 hectares in Fleurie comprised of two lieu-dits (Chapelle des Bois and Champagne) with another 2 hectares in the cru Brouilly.

In 1977, Jean was joined by his son Jean-Louis who officially took over the domain in 1989. Eventually transitioning their farming practice to organic, Jean-Louis found himself spending the majority of his time in his vineyards gaining an understanding of the significance of organic viticulture. The domaine became certified organic in 2009.
