Saint Amour A la folie Marc Delienne (no reserve) 2018

The wine

With notes of red fruit and liquorice, this is a balanced and full-bodied wine. From 'A la Folie' - where the soil is especially pebbly - the grapes are sorted before a carbonic maceration, with pressing after 12 days. The wine is matured for 10 months in barrels.

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!
