Laurence & Rémi Dufaitre

Tucked away in the heart of Beaujolais, France, Laurence and Rémi Dufaitre are owners and vignerons of an exquisite, biodynamically farmed winery. Launched in the early 2000s, their venture has since made significant waves in the French wine scene. Drawing on Rémi's rich experience in viticulture and equipped with Laurence's unmatched marketing acumen, they've persistently sought to redefine Beaujolais' wine landscape.

Nestled amongst rolling hills and stunning vistas, the couple's approximately 12 hectares of vineyards sprawl across the villages of Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne and Saint-Jean-des-Vignes. Here, they work predominantly with the Gamay grape to produce a captivating range of authentic, expressive red wines. The winery shines a spotlight on the diversity of the Beaujolais region's terroirs, respecting the natural integrity of their old vines by shunning artificial treatments. This commitment to biodynamics imbues every bottle with remarkable freshness, finesse and the unique mineral undertones indicative of their soils.

Instead of using artificial yeasts, Laurence & Rémi rely on natural fermentation. Their winemaking technique is minimalistic; they refrain from fining, filtration or making any additions, including sulphur. This uncluttered approach has rewarded us with wines that offer the perfect interplay between fruit, earth and the characteristic Beaujolais minerality.

Their innovative philosophy extends to aesthetics as well, as their wines’ presentation is as refreshing as their contents, with eye-catching geometric labels that mirror the precision and elegance of the wines within.

In conclusion, Laurence & Rémi Dufaitre Winery is many things, an emblem of inspiration for budding winemakers, a testament to the longevity and flexibility of organic farming and, above all, a sanctuary for wine enthusiasts who commend an authentic, pure expression of the Beaujolais wine...all bottled with love, and passion.
