Domaine de la Grand'Cour

What Domaine de la Grand'Cour does

Domaine de la Grand'Cour is a family-owned 11.5-hectare wine estate in Fleurie, Beaujolais (France), producing organic wines exclusively from the Gamay grape across two appellations — Fleurie (9.7 ha) and Brouilly (1.8 ha). Founded by Jean Dutraive in 1969 and now in its third generation of family management under Jean-Louis Dutraive and his children Ophélie and Lucas Dutraive, the estate operates under a natural-winemaking protocol: hand-harvested grapes, whole-bunch carbonic maceration, indigenous-yeast fermentation, zero added sulphites, no fining or filtration, gravity-flow cellar transfers, and ageing in oak barrels, foudres, and demi-muids. All estate vineyards carry AB (Agriculture Biologique) certification. The estate holds a monopole over the 6.4-hectare Clos de la Grand'Cour.

The business operates two product lines: (1) 'Domaine de la Grand'Cour' wines from the estate's own 11.5 hectares, comprising single-parcel cuvées such as Fleurie Clos de la Grand'Cour, Fleurie Vieilles Vignes, Fleurie Chapelle des Bois, Fleurie Champ*gne, and Brouilly Vieilles Vignes; and (2) the 'Famille Dutraive' negociant label, created after 2016 hail damage, vinifying purchased organic grapes from six named partner growers across Chiroubles, Chénas, Fleurie Les Déduits, Saint-Amour, Beaujolais Villages, and a Vin de France cuvée (Cap Ô Sud, a Cinsault-Gamay co-fermentation with Domaine des deux Ânes). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are conducted at departure-from-cellar (cave) prices via two channels: direct trade at the domain by email reservation (trade professionals only) and retail at Maison du Cru Fleurie on approximately 10 scheduled tasting dates per year. Geographic scope is domestic France (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region) with international visibility signaled by a bilingual French/English website and Instagram presence, but no named international distributors are disclosed.
