description: Jean-Louis Dutraive Domaine de la Grand'Cour Fleurie 'Le Clos' Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2023 Jean-Louis Dutraive, Domaine de la Grand’Cour Fleurie “Le Clos” Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2023 is a deep, structured, and intensely fruity Gamay from very old vines in the estate’s historic walled Clos. It is a top-tier Cru Beaujolais with real concentration, silky texture, and clear aging potential, yet still marked by the bright, floral elegance typical of Fleurie. Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "Complex spicy aromas and concentrated red fruit are wrapped around the healthy tannic core of this medium-bodied beauty. Long, suave finish. And this is only just beginning to open up and reveal its depth. From organically grown grapes. From 50- to 80-year-old vines. Matured in 3- to 5-year-old, 600-liter oak barrels. Drink or hold." - James Suckling Vineyard and winemaking 100% Gamay from the “Le Clos” parcel, a 6.4 ha walled vineyard surrounding the house and cellars in Fleurie. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée comes from a 1.5 ha selection of the oldest vines in the Clos, around 80–100 years old, planted on granite at about 300 m altitude. Organic farming, manual harvest, semi-carbonic maceration with no inputs, and élevage half in oak barrels and half in foudres for about seven months. Only a tiny amount of sulfur is added at bottling if needed. Tasting note Appearance: Bright ruby with a luminous core. Nose: Intense red fruit—strawberry, raspberry, cherry—with floral notes (peony, violet), a hint of spice, and a subtle granitic minerality. Palate: Silky and velvety, with ripe, concentrated fruit, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. The texture is lush but not heavy, with real depth and a clear sense of place. Finish: Long, fresh, and mineral, with lingering red fruit and a clean, stony close. Style and drinking window This is a classic, high-quality Fleurie: elegant, floral, and fruit-driven, yet with the structure and depth to age. It is approachable now but will benefit from a few year…
