Laurence et Rémi Dufaitre
Laurence et Rémi Dufaitre works within Beaujolais, the French region celebrated for its Gamay-based wines. The winery produces across the region's tiered appellations, from the broader Beaujolais Villages designation to the more specific Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly crus. Côte de Brouilly, their highest-rated offering, showcases the mineral precision and red-fruit character that define this northern cru. Brouilly follows, offering a slightly broader expression of Gamay's silky tannins and bright acidity. Beaujolais Villages rounds out the range with the approachable, fruit-forward profile typical of the appellation. Wine Advocate has assessed the portfolio, with Côte de Brouilly earning particular recognition. The winery's focus on Gamay across these distinct terroirs reflects the traditional hierarchy of Beaujolais production, where elevation, soil composition, and microclimate shape the final expression in the glass.
