Domaine Melinon - Manganèse | Moulin-à-Vent
Red wine | France, BEAUJOLAIS | 2023
This Manganèse is a powerful yet refined Moulin-à-Vent that perfectly reflects its unique granite terroir, rich in manganese. The wine combines intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum with floral notes of violet and subtle spicy nuances. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with silky tannins, vibrant freshness and a long, mineral finish. A characterful Gamay with excellent ageing potential.

Vinification
Les raisins sont vendangés à la main puis entièrement égrappés. La fermentation se déroule en cuves béton avec une macération d'environ 10 jours, accompagnée de remontages et de délestages afin d'extraire en douceur la couleur, les arômes et les tanins. Le vin est ensuite élevé pendant environ 10 mois sur lies fines, en cuves et en fûts de chêne ayant déjà servi, afin d'apporter de la complexité tout en préservant le fruit.

About Famille Mélinon
Founded in the 18th century and passed down from generation to generation, this family estate embodies the very essence of Beaujolais. It is located in the charming lieu-dit Saint-Joseph in the village of Villié-Morgon. As the heritage of eight generations, the Melinon estate continues a centuries-old expertise and offers a diverse range of wines.
The estate covers 18 hectares, of which 8 hectares are dedicated to the Morgon cru. It includes 1 hectare of white grape varieties and 17 hectares planted with red varieties. Today, it is run by Gaétan Melinon, a young winemaker just under 30 years old, with a degree in viticulture and oenology, who combines tradition with modern expertise.
