Story
Dufaitre Remi & Laurence, Botheland
Brouilly · Beaujolais · France
Rémi Dufaitre and Laurence Liatard began acquiring vineyards in Brouilly and nearby crus in 2006. Rémi adheres to the traditional Beaujolais winemaking style, using carbonic maceration, and matures each cuvée differently. Depending on the vintage, he adds between 0 and 2 mg/L of sulphur during bottling to stabilise the wines as needed.
“From the outset, Rémi has farmed the vineyards organically, initially selling his grapes to the cooperative.”
By 2010, he felt confident that his work was aligned with the wines he wanted to create and began bottling his own. With the support of Jean-Claude Lapalu, Jean Foillard, and other members of the Beaujolais community, Rémi and Laurence found their footing and were welcomed into the network, gaining recognition for their approach.
