Since his first vintage in 2015, Justin Dutraive’s vision has always been to keep things small. The entire domaine is less than two hectares, and he produces no more than a few thousand bottles of each cuvée. This allows him to have total control over the farming and vinification – or as much control as possible when winemaking is done naturally. Son of the legendary Jean-Louis Dutraive, Justin's wines, permeate with the same vision as his father; organic farming, natural winemaking, and high-quality Gamay.
La Madone is one of the emblematic terroirs of Fleurie, comprised of an outcrop of granite that towers steeply over the surrounding vineyards with a famous chapel at the top (hence the name). Justin’s small parcel comes from vines owned by his mother, who lives near the top of this famous hillside.
