A family adventure in the heart of Beaujolais
In 2006, Rémi and Laurence Dufaitre embarked on acquiring vineyards primarily located in the crus of Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly. From the outset, they committed to environmentally friendly viticulture, adopting organic practices to preserve biodiversity and soil health. Their clear objective: to produce authentic wines that faithfully reflect the unique character of their terroir.
Inspiring mentors and well-deserved recognition
The exceptional quality of Domaine Dufaitre's wines quickly caught the attention of prominent figures in the wine world. Jean Foillard, a renowned Beaujolais winemaker, was particularly impressed by Rémi and Laurence's work. Recognizing their talent and dedication, he took them under his wing, introducing them to a network of Parisian clients passionate about natural wines. This collaboration allowed the estate to secure a prominent place on the Parisian wine scene and beyond.
Natural winemaking for vibrant wines
True to their minimalist intervention philosophy, Rémi and Laurence favor whole-cluster vinification using the traditional method of carbonic maceration. This approach extracts intense fruity aromas while maintaining the freshness and lightness characteristic of their wines. The use of indigenous yeasts and the absence of oenological additives demonstrate their commitment to natural practices, offering sincere and expressive wines.
Signature cuvées reflecting Beaujolais diversity
Domaine Dufaitre offers a varied range of cuvées, each highlighting a distinct facet of the Beaujolais terroir. Among them, "Prémices" stands out for its freshness and conviviality, ideal for sharing moments. The "Brouilly" and "Côte de Brouilly" crus provide increased depth and complexity, reflecting the richness of the region's volcanic and granitic soils. Each bottle invites you to discover the soul of Beaujolais through the lens of Dufaitre's expertise.
An essential presence in the natural wine scene
