Well…it was bound to happen. When you put this many examples of largely non-interventionalist winemaking into a line-up. The odds are favorable that one will be all wrong. Tonight, it was this bottle of 2019 Domaine de la Grand’Cour, Fleurie, “Clos de la Grand’Cour” by Jean-Louis Dutraive. Unfortunately, this was a freaking gerbil cage…as bad as I’ve ever encountered and there was nothing redeeming about it. Drain-pour and a huge bummer.

Usually a favorite. Off bottle, or rough vintage?

Dutraive usually a favorite. Time has not be kind to this wine. No fruit just Bacteria?

Bottle tasted corked. Wasn’t for us. Will give it another try.

Fruit forward and zippy cherry. Little bit of a zing to it.
