In a few words ...
In 1970, Jean-Jacques Mélinand acquired the Clos du Pavillon vineyards in Fleurie. At the time, the vineyard covered 4 hectares and the wines were vinified in the property adjoining the clos. As the years went by, jean-jacques began to feel cramped, dreaming of larger spaces, and decided to cultivate new plots, still in the fleurie appellation. His desire to work more and more on his terroir led to a problem that was not without consequences. The vat room where the wines are vinified reached its maximum capacity and could not accommodate any more grapes. So, in 1989, Jean-Jacques had a new vinification facility built on the plateau 500 meters from the Clos, in a place called "Les Marrans". At the time, the domaine owned several parcels in the Fleurie, Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations. As 13 years earlier, the problem of size arose again. The domaine set about enlarging the cuvage. 2.5 hectares of vines on the Chiroubles slopes were acquired in the "aux côtes" area.

I tasted this wine on vacation, and it was so good that I ordered a case of 6 bottles, all of which have since been consumed. A very pleasant wine, full of personality, delightful and perfect for tasting.

I fell in love with this Beaujolais domaine. I've tasted everything from them and I'm never disappointed. Super Chiroubles, light, fruity and crisp.

An excellent Chiroubles, tasted with a charcuterie platter, it was unanimously appreciated by my guests. Nevertheless, I'm going to leave a few of them to bed to see how it evolves.
