92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "From Jean-Louis's highest-altitude vines, perched above La Madone, the 2017 Fleurie Carolon offers up a pretty bouquet of ripe Griotte cherry, strawberry and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fine-grained and concentrated, with an unmistakably stony, mineral finish. Drink: 2018-2024. (Sep 2018)"

Jean-Louis Dutraive represents the fifth generation of Domaine de la Grand’Cour, joining his father at the estate in 1977. The family’s total holdings comprise 10.6 hectares, farmed all organically. The 2017 ‘Carolon’ is delicate yet defined, showing a persistent, rocky minerality and nuanced aromatics. Dark fruit flavors and abundant acid create a delicious structure in the wine, pairing perfectly with an array of foods. A true Beaujolais legend.
