Justin Dutraive, son of famous father Jean-Louis, started his own label in 2015. After spending some time in wine school, and working for the family business, Justin leased a few parcels of remarkable vines with Jean-Louis’ help. One parcel is just below the town of Fleurie within the appellation, and another within one that his father is well-known for: La Chapelle des Bois.

Justin's respect for nature guides him in his craft. Since the first vintage, his vision has always been to keep things small. With less than two hectares, he produces no more than a few thousand bottles of each cuvée, allowing him total control over the farming and vinification. He still works alongside his family at Domaine de la Grand’Cour, where he has taken on more of the winemaking.

All wines made by the family have the same general vision behind them: high quality Gamay from organic farming and natural winemaking. Now several vintages further, Justin has managed to create his own distinct style, and we are proud to include his wines in our portfolio.
