Marc Delienne Estate – The Purity and Energy of Gamay

A Passionate Winemaker in the Heart of Beaujolais

Since settling in Fleurie in 2015, Marc Delienne has pursued a relentless quest for excellence and authenticity. A former entrepreneur in the tech industry, he fulfilled his dream by acquiring a wine estate in one of Beaujolais’ finest crus. With a deep commitment to biodynamics and natural winemaking, he crafts elegant, precise, and vibrant wines that showcase the great terroirs of Fleurie and Morgon.

Exceptional Terroirs Dedicated to Gamay

Marc Delienne Estate spans several hectares of vineyards rooted in the granitic and sandy soils of Fleurie. These terroirs impart remarkable finesse and complexity to the wines, allowing for a pure and expressive interpretation of Gamay. With sustainable farming practices, the soils remain alive and full of energy, resulting in cuvées that are both fresh and deeply structured.

Biodynamic Viticulture for Living Wines

Believing that great wines come from healthy vineyards, Marc Delienne practices biodynamic viticulture, avoiding chemical inputs and using natural treatments. Grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring a meticulous selection of the best fruit. Each parcel is carefully tended to maintain soil balance and enhance terroir expression.

Minimal Intervention Winemaking for Pure Wines

In the cellar, Marc Delienne favors spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and minimizes interventions to let the wines speak for themselves. Aging takes place in barrels or tanks to preserve purity and structure. This approach results in Fleurie and Morgon wines of remarkable precision, bursting with red fruit aromas, delicate floral notes, and impressive length on the palate.
