"Charm to spare"

The estate’s signature wine, it is characterized by a lovely freshness, refined tannins, and a beautiful balance. Fruity, it pairs wonderfully with white meats, certain cheeses, and fish.

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The Mélinand family is based in Fleurie, but their 20-hectare estate spans six appellations, including the Fleurie (the largest), Chiroubles, and Juliénas crus, and—since the arrival of their son, Mathieu—a vineyard in Morgon. We were won over by the 2015 vintage; the 2016, while offering a different style, further refined the estate’s character. The 2017 vintage confirms the delicate, slender profile—without any dilution—that we so admire. Our only regret is that some cuvées have a nose that’s a touch ethereal. Overall, this is a highly recommended estate with a refined style.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Founded in 1970 in Fleurie by Jean-Jacques and Liliane Mélinand using the family’s vineyards, the estate was taken over by their son Mathieu in 2009. Mathieu, who previously made wine in Australia and New Zealand, now manages 20 hectares of vineyards spread across six appellations, including four crus. A sure bet.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 89/100 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Aged for 11 months in large oak barrels, the 2023 Fleurie Les Marrans reveals an expressive bouquet of rose petals, sweet spices, candied bark, cherries, and blackberries. Medium- to full-bodied, it offers ripe, succulent flavors without any sense of heaviness, maintaining an elegance supported by supple, velvety tannins. A charming wine, ready to drink now.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Mathieu Mélinand took over the family’s 20-hectare estate in 2008, after gaining experience in the Southern Hemisphere. Each of the four crus is mature, maintained through the annual replanting of missing vines. All the wines are vinified with native yeasts and aged in large oak casks. They have lush textures, but are not over-extracted.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 16, 2025

Favorite This Fleury comes from a brilliant vintage and displays great power in terms of flavor density and depth, while retaining a delightful freshness. Beautiful crushed red berries and tart black berries in general—and crisp Burlat cherries in particular—are intensely present in a pulpy, delicate, and velvety texture. The palate, round and elegant, stretches toward a formidable, savory finish, enhanced by a subtle spicy kick. The concept of pure indulgence takes on its full meaning with this beautiful Gamay—even more so when paired with hearty, rustic dishes to share in a convivial atmosphere. Rating: 4.2.
