But this superb vigneron's prodigious 'resistance, as the French call it, is only one of his admirable qualities. He and his small domaine are celebrated among wine lovers—the present writer included—for producing some of the Beaujolais's most charming, seductive wines.

The estate encompasses nine hectares divided between three contiguous terroirs: Grand’Cour, Chapelle des Bois, and Champagne. The family also has 1.6 hectares of Brouilly that have been in their holding for five generations. Jean-Louis joined his father in 1977 and took over the domaine in 1989.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe domaine has been certified organic since 2009, but practicing organic for decades prior. Jean-Louis strives to make vins de terroir above all else, and follows the same principles of winemaking for each of his cuvées: hand harvesting, whole-cluster, carbonic fermentation without any added sulfur, native yeasts, and no intervention or addition of oenologic products.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLieu-dit Champagne is Jean-Louis Dutraive's most alluring wine. It is a reference for the grand potential of Gamay, offering a wine that is rich and joyful with a long capacity for aging. According to Jean-Louis, the vineyard name simply means \"campagne\" or countryside in local dialect, and since the name predates the famous sparkling wine, the Beaujolais is granted historic authority to use it on their labels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a historic vineyard that sits just below the Clos. It is only 1.5 hectares containing Dutraive's oldest, lowest yielding vines (70-100 years old). The soil is composed of a very thin layer of sandy topsoil before hitting granite. The vines are organically farmed with no herbicides or pesticides used. Traditional vinification takes place in concrete - no sulfur, natural yeast, at very low temperature. Carbonic maceration and little or no filtering. The wine spends 7 month in french oak barrels.
