Since 2010, they have been producing wines that reflect their commitment to organic farming and low-intervention winemaking. Influenced by pioneers like Jean Foillard, the Dufaitres focus on creating authentic expressions of the Beaujolais terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eRémi and Laurence Dufaitre oversee all aspects of production, from vineyard management to winemaking. Their philosophy centers on minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes and terroir to shine through. They employ organic farming practices and avoid the use of synthetic chemicals, ensuring the health of their vineyards and the purity of their wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe ‘Prémices’ cuvée is sourced from 50- to 70-year-old vines located in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. These vineyards benefit from a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters, ideal for ripening Gamay grapes. The soil composition, primarily granite and sand, provides excellent drainage and contributes to the wine’s mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Gamay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes for ‘Prémices’ are hand-harvested and undergo a short maceration period to extract color and flavor gently. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks, maintaining a controlled temperature to preserve the wine’s fresh fruit character. The wine is then aged in the same concrete vessels, allowing it to develop complexity without the influence of oak. Bottling is done without fining or filtration, and minimal sulfur is added to ensure stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eApproximately 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 ‘Prémices’ Beaujolais-Villages presents a vibrant ruby hue.
