Marc Delienne Fleurie Avalanche de Printemps is a wine brought to bottle early, built around a concept of vibrancy and freshness. The grapes come from the South-East section of Delienne’s Fleurie vineyard where the soils are a mix of sand and rocky granite. This combination of soils, along with the gentle extraction of tannin and color in the cellar by Marc’s hand, yields a wine with an intoxicating perfume and finesse. Buoyant, expressive, and pulsating with energy. Crushed raspberries, violets, soft earth, and bright acidity.
