Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Mélinand family is based in Fleurie, but their 20-hectare estate covers six appellations, including Fleurie (the largest), Chiroubles, and Juliénas, and, since the arrival of Mathieu, the son, a vineyard in Morgon. We were impressed by the 2015 vintage, and the 2016 vintage refined the style. 2017 confirms the delicate, slender profile, without dilution, which we applaud. Our only regret is that some cuvées have a slightly harsh nose. Overall, this is a highly recommended estate with a refined style.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Created in 1970 in Fleurie by Jean-Jacques and Liliane Mélinand from family vineyards, the estate was taken over by their son Mathieu in 2009. Having previously worked as a winemaker in Australia and New Zealand, Mathieu now manages 20 hectares of vineyards spread across six appellations, including four crus. A sure bet.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Mathieu Mélinand took over the family's 20 hectares in 2008, after gaining experience in the southern hemisphere. Each of the four crus shows its mature age, maintained by annual replanting of missing vines. All the wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts and aged in large casks. They have a pulpy texture, but are not overly extracted.

About wine:
This wine has appealing notes of oyster shell that complement the stone and citrus aromas. It is medium-bodied, fresh, and slightly salty, with a creamy texture. Drink now.
