"Gamay Concentrate"

Thanks to the old vines, whose grapes are smaller and more concentrated, this wine is a true distillation of Gamay’s finest aromas. It is a wine with aging potential that will charm you with the finesse and purity of its fruit.

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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

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.
