FROM THE IMPORTER:
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 we know. 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, and the lineup is remarkably pure and fresh, with a grain and spice to the old vine Gamay that underlines the quality terroir Mathieu is working with. These wines display their terroir with clear definition and racy floral deliciousness.
