"Length and Power"

Don’t be like the Prussians in 1870—don’t run away from this lady! Made from old vines in Madone and aged for 12 months in old oak barrels, this Gamay is a full-bodied, powerful wine with excellent aging potential. It pairs wonderfully with a Burgundian wild boar stew or pheasant casserole à la forestière.

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Established for five generations on Fleurie’s most famous vineyard, La Madone, the Després family produces a very consistent range of elegant and well-balanced Fleurie wines. Arnaud, the son of Jean-Pierre Després, founded the Domaine du Niagara in 2005. He is expected to take over the family estate this year and will henceforth manage the entire operation. It is a daunting task on a famous but challenging cru. The most recent vintages live up to the estate’s reputation, and the wide range of wines offers a safe choice at a reasonable price.

About the estate:

Jean-Marc Després, one of the leading figures in Fleurie, has been based there since 1984 with his wife Maryse. In 2018, he passed his estate on to his son Arnaud, who now manages 18 hectares near an iconic site in the appellation: the Chapel of the Madonna. Another label: Dom. du Niagara.

Rated Estate (2022 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:

Jean-Marc Després is a reserved winemaker who speaks to you with his eyes… and through his wines! His son Arnaud joined him in 2005. He then took over his great-grandfather’s vineyards, which he markets under the Domaine Niagara label; he changed the vineyard management practices and planted new plots, including Viognier on granite. Thanks to its warm hospitality, the authenticity of its wines, and the delicious cuisine at its inn, La Madone is a delightful stop in the Beaujolais region.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on June 11, 2025

Powerful and robust, Dame de la Pétoche is a concentrated, full-bodied wine that delivers a fresh and juicy palate, with abundant texture that is graceful and velvety to the touch, beautifully blending subtle oak with ripe fruit and lovely notes of cherry jam. The present yet warm tannins—delicate and well-integrated—extend the profile into a long and flavorful finish. It has enormous aging potential thanks to its structure and depth. The antithesis of the classic, easy-drinking Beaujolais, Dame de la Pétoche is a young, distinguished wine that is bold and uninhibited, naturally destined for the dinner table to enhance, for example, a delicious coq au vin. Rating = 4.5.
