The wine
After being harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted and placed in concrete vats for 12 days. There are no additives involved. Gentle stirring is carried out daily before a 15-month maturation in barrels. This wine is particuarly concentrated, though it retains a certain freshness as well as notes of black fruit and spices.
About the Producer Marc Delienne
Marc Delienne learnt the viticultural trade at the Trévallon domain in Provence with Eloi Durrbach. In 2015, he purchased a property with 14 hectares in Fleurie, believing strongly in the region's potential for growth in fine wine. He set out to convert the domain to organic production, then to biodynamics in 2016. The domain has now been fully certified for 2 years. Since this wine makers first vintages, he has been making flavourful and balanced wines with delicate tannins and notes of red fruits and blueberry. One to watch in Beaujolais!
