Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes Marrans (Domaine des) 2024

Fleurie, one of the most renowned crus of Beaujolais, is known for producing floral, silky and elegant Gamay wines. The vines thrive on slopes resting on granite soils at around 350 metres altitude, which impart floral finesse, vibrant acidity and a distinctive mineral edge to the wines. In the vineyard, manual harvests involve small crates. The fruit then undergoes semi-carbonic maceration, with spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts. The wine is subsequently aged briefly in vat.
The wine displays a pale, clear hue with bright highlights. The expressive nose reveals intense aromas of small red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, alongside floral notes of violet and peony, with a touch of spice. On the palate, a clean attack leads into a juicy core supported by refreshing acidity and fine yet present tannins, carrying through to a vibrant, appetising finish.
