Vin de France Cap sur le blanc Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2021

The wine

The Cap sur le Blanc cuvée is the fruit of a meticulously crafted process by Jean-Louis and his children, who produce their unique white wine at the Dutraive family trading house. The Chardonnay grapes, sourced in the Beaujolais region, are grown exclusively according to organic farming practices. Neither chemical fertilisers nor weedkillers are used. During the harvest, the fruit is picked entirely by hand, to preserve the quality and aromas of this top-quality raw material. The grapes are then vinified in a traditional, low-intervention fashion.
The bright golden colour reveals an extremely sophisticated bouquet with a well-developed aromatic palette. Aromas of green apple and hazelnut mingle with floral touches and hints of sesame. The rich, concentrated palate reveals great tension, leading elegantly to a savoury, lingering finish.
