Famille Dutraive Saint-Amour 2020: A Family-Crafted Gamay from Beaujolais

Discover the vibrant essence of Beaujolais with Famille Dutraive’s 2020 Saint-Amour Gamay—a wine that embodies tradition, resilience, and the passion of three generations. Hailing from the iconic Dutraive family of Burgundy’s Beaujolais region, this bottle is a testament to Jean-Louis Dutraive’s mastery of Gamay grapes and his vision to nurture his children’s role in winemaking after devastating hailstorms in 2016 and 2017 threatened their harvests.

Crafted with care from sustainably sourced parcels across Saint-Amour’s terroir, these grapes are grown under organic principles—though not all certified—to preserve their purity and character. True to the Dutraive legacy, Famille Dutraive wines mirror the meticulous approach of Domaine de la Grand’Cour but offer an accessible entry point into their world-class portfolio.

This 2020 vintage delivers crisp acidity and lively red fruit flavors—think cherry and raspberry—balanced by subtle earthy undertones. Its light-bodied structure makes it perfect for casual sipping or pairing with charcuterie boards (a nod to Jean-Louis’s legendary apéro saucisson) or hearty dishes like roasted chicken or mushroom risotto. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening, this wine’s approachable style shines without sacrificing complexity.

For wine enthusiasts seeking authentic Beaujolais Gamay at an appealing price point, Famille Dutraive stands out for its commitment to quality craftsmanship amid adversity. Unlike mass-produced options, every bottle reflects a family’s dedication to preserving tradition while embracing innovation—a balance that sets it apart in France’s renowned wine regions.

With 13.5% alcohol by volume, this wine offers refreshing drinkability ideal for everyday enjoyment or special occasions. While availability may vary by retailer and vintage dates could differ slightly from images shown, Famille Dutraive remains a standout choice for those exploring premium Gamay wines from Burgundy’s Beaujolais appellation.
