Wine Enthusiast
This is a ripe and juicy wine. Tannins support the generous layers of red-berry and cherry fruits and acidity. The wine has a succulent quality, spicy and fruity at the end. Drink from mid-2018.

Decanter
A blend of three terroirs. Bright and racy with red fruit and flinty, mineral notes. Finely textured palate, with a saline note on the finish. A refreshing glass. Drinking Window 2018 - 2022

Panel
Domaine des Marrans is located in Fleurie, in the heart of the northernmost section of Beaujolais. Founded in 1970, the current proprietor is the young and talented Mathieu Mélinand, who joined the family domaine in 2008. With old vines and crystalline granite sites, Mathieu is growing some of the most pristine Gamay.
The vines are pruned in the traditional Gobelet vinetraining method and the harvest is done only by hand, using small crates to minimize oxidation. In the cellar, vinification is old school, with semi-carbonic maceration using whole clusters, minimal intervention, and only indigenous yeasts used.
The wines are then aged in large older barrels for 10 months before bottling. This lineup is remarkably pure and fresh.
