Domaine des Marrans Fleurie 2015

Fleurie, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceDomaine des Marrans is located in Fleurie, in the heart of the northernmost section of Beaujolais, and is run by the talented Mathieu Mélinand, who joined the family estate just over a decade ago. Old vines and crystalline granite soils yield this silky, pristine gamay. The fruit is all hand-harvested from old vines, farmed using organic practices, and the vinification is old school, with semi-carbonic maceration, whole clusters, minimal intervention, and indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in large older barrels for ten months before bottling. The attack is delicious with juicy, silky, black raspberries and bright red strawberries laced with stony mineral flecks that coat the palate. It’s everything you could hope for in a Fleurie and more. Perfect with pork, veal, or a favourite soft cheese.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
