The Avalanche de Printemps is a wine brought to bottle early, in a fresh, drink now style. The grapes come from the South-East section of Delienne's Fleurie vineyard where the soils are a mix of sand and rocky granite. So expressive and charming, red raspberries and hibiscus, a little chalk. At 56, Marc Delienne decided to do something different. He had been working in Paris at an IT company, but said “nope, not anymore” and packed a bag for Beaujolais. He purchased the Château de l’Abbaye Saint Laurent d’Arpayé in Fleurie and sought mentors like Alain Graillot and Eloi Dürrbach, who inspired him to convert his old vines of Gamay to organics. The wines have an edginess and attention to detail quality that puts his wines up there with the finest wines from the region. Perfect value too.
