Saint-Véran Marc Delienne 2022

Marc Delienne’s estate is relatively new to the dynamic Beaujolais wine scene, having entered the trade with the excellent 2015 vintage following a career in the IT sector. This is a white wine from the Côte Chalonnaise in the Saint-Véran appellation. The Chardonnay grapes used to produce this wine stem from meticulous organic cultivation, certified biodynamic since 2016. In the winery, the grapes receive the same respectful treatment, through gentle, natural vinification. The fermentation process is triggered by the indigenous yeasts alone.
Tasting reveals a wine that is best enjoyed young. It displays a pale yellow colour with shimmering tints, introducing a delicate fragrance predominantly characterised by notes of white fruit, vineyard peach and floral aromas such as honeysuckle. On the palate, it is fluid, with a supple, slightly buttery texture. The finish culminates on a fresh almond impression, with a lingering minerality.
