Les Vins de la Madone

In this young Côtes du Forez appellation, established in 2000, Gilles Bonnefoy founded the winery Madone Wines, in 1997, based in Champdieu, south of the Loire Valley. He began by renting a few plots of old vines, then acquired 4 hectares of fallow land across various terroirs. By 2001, he had already shifted toward organic viticulture. Wishing to go even further in a natural and environmentally friendly approach, he began exploring biodynamics in 2004, leading to Demeter certification in 2009, with the implementation of green manure crops, plant decoctions, and biodynamic preparations.
