2019 Marc Delienne Fleurie Greta Carbo, Beaujolais, France
$42.00
This cuvée, vinified with carbonic maceration, is made from 60-year-old vines found in Les Déduits, in the south-east of Fleurie. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted then macerated without additives. The grapes are then pressed after 15 days beofre undergoing a 15-month maturation in barrels.
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!
