About the Wine
Domaine Dufour is based in Régnié-Durette, at the foot of Mont Brouilly. Florent took over from his father about twenty years ago. Since then he has restructured four to five hectares so the vines can be tilled and worked by tractor rather than managed with herbicides. He wants to bring as many parcels as possible along the same path.
Pisse-Vieille is a lieu-dit of roughly 20 hectares within Brouilly, the largest and most southern of the Beaujolais crus. The INAO recognises it for its orientation, slope and microclimate. Its odd name comes from a village legend the family enjoys telling. The Gamay is picked by hand and aged in used 700-litre oak, which keeps it light and full of red fruit. At the domaine, this is the red that works with almost anything on the table.
