Description

Justin Dutraive is a superstar of the new generation of natural winemakers in Beaujolais. Being the son of Jean-Louis Dutraive (of Domaine de la Grand'Cour), this shouldn't come as a surprise - Beaujolais is in his blood.

Les Bulands is a gorgeously juicy and easy drinking wine; beautifully light, tart red cherries and raspberries galore with an enticing undertone of earth, spice and florals.

A very intriguing Beaujolais, and a vin de soif from an incredible second generation producer. We're sure his dad is proud of him for this one.

Following on from the change in style in 2019 this is super pale in the glass reflecting the very short carbonic maceration. Transparent light cherry red with old ruby highlights. Ethereal notes of delicate wild pink rose with raspberry and red cherry and a dusting of fruit spice. Medium to light weight, its not lacking in texture and flavour. Delicate red fruit notes, mostly raspberry, swim in the glycerol enhanced texture with the tiniest inkling of tannins. Any “structure” here comes from the taught mineral acidity. When I caught up in July this year we asked Justin why the change to shorter ferments and lighter extraction and he cited the influence of Domaine L’Anglore (as many do now in France) and I can see the resemblance.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
