2016  Domaine de la Grand'Cour

Domaine de la Grand'Cour -- Certified Organic, limited production -- An old family parcel kept by Jean-Louis' father when the family purchased Domaine de la Grand'Cour and moved to Fleurie. Average vins age is 50 years but many vines are well over 100 years old. -- While Brouilly is known for its volcanic and decomposed rock, Jean-Louis’ parcel is unique in the Crus as it sits on limestone and clay, which gives the wine a little extra stuffing. -- Traditional "beaujolaise" vinification: semi-carbonic maceration, no sulfur in vinification (small amount added at the blend before bottling(. Jean-Louis' motto in the cellar is "minimal intervention and maximum surveillance." -- From a family parcel located near the house Jean-Louis grew up in, this Brouilly is an anomoly in Dutraive's Fleurie-centric lineup. It is earthy, savory and sappy, and offers endless enjoyment in every glass.

2016  Lieu-Dit En Papolet

Lieu-Dit En Papolet -- Very limited production -- En Papolet Chenas is one of four wines from the Dutraive family negociant project created in response to crop losses of 90% from storms that ravaged the vineyards of Fleurie. While it is farmed by family friend Paul-Henri Thillardon, it beautifully represents Dutraive's fresh-fruited, soulful style, an etereal texture, along with a savory/sweet component that keeps you coming back for more.

2016  Lieu-Dit Les Perelles

Lieu-Dit Les Perelles -- Very limited production -- Les Perelles Chenas is one of four wines from the Dutraive family negociant project created in response to crop losses of 90% from storms that ravaged the vineyards of Fleurie. While it is farmed by family friend Paul-Henri Thillardon, it tastes like a Dutraive wine with its fresh-fruit quality and energetic style.

2013  

100% Gamay. Nouveau from a master. Talk about farm to table. The grapes for this wonderful little wine were picked on October 30. 2013 & we enjoyed a bottle just yestarday afternoon. The purest juice. Organic, unsulfured, unfiltered. Delicious, well-structured quaffable stuff! If you can wait, it opens up nicely if decanted. This is no ordinary Nouveau; this will still be singing a year from now.

2007  

712 cases produced. Fabien Duperray has been distributing some of the finest estates of burgundy for over 25 years, but until 2007 he had no vineyards of his own. He finally had the opportunity to acquire some small parcels of very old vines in Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent in some truly special terroirs, and the results are nothing short of stunning. Fabien tends to every detail in the process with excruciating precision. From his biodynamically, certified organically farmed vines, to the hand pulling of weeds, the custom made barrels, the long elevage of 3 years, right down to the finest corks one can buy, the quality here at every turn is more akin to the most famous estates in the Cote d'Or. The wines are very limited but once tasted, you will understand what led David Schildknecht to write upon tasting the Desjourneys wines for the first time "The big story is some of the most remarkable Beaujolais wines of my experience, and perhaps ever rendered."

2016  

Very Limited, Organic Production -- Justin's first solo Bojo is as juicy and joyful as it gets! Upon its release, his father and friends were said to consume a few magnums on the back patio overlooking the Clos de la Grand'Cour. It's an easy sipper and an exciting first effort from the next generation. Making papa proud!

2016  Beaujolais Villages

Beaujolais Villages -- Sourced from the hillside parcel of "Les Tours" in the village of Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne near the Crus of Brouilly and Cote de Brouilly. -- Justin's new Beaujolais Villages Les Tours was farmed, vinified and aged in accordance with the moon. It is a step up in structure and concentration from its baby brother Les Bullands. An exciting addition from this exciting young vigneron.

2014  Domaine des Vignes du Tremblay

Domaine des Vignes du Tremblay - "The Cru Beaujolais of Moulin-à-Vent inherited its name from the stoic windmill that has overlooked these vineyards since the 15th century. In the same silent, consistent manner, Paul Janin and his family have tended their Gamay vines for generations. Paul's son, Eric, is very much a product of this place; he is a fourth-generation grower, overseeing the fruit from its inception in the vineyard to its final resting place in the bottle. The grapes are farmed using lutte raisonnee methods, and the flaky, pink granite soil produces structured, powerful wines that gain even more character as they age. Bright, firm and earthy, they are reminiscent of the great terroirs of the Côte de Nuit. The Janins' traditional wines have proved to be as steadfast as the Moulin-à-Vent itself."
