Les Vins de la Madone

In the young Côtes du Forez appellation, which was created in 2000, Gilles Bonnefoy established the estate. Les Vins de la Madonein 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 on different terroirs. In 2001, he quickly turned his attention to organic viticulture. Wanting to go even further in his natural and environmentally friendly approach, in 2004 he began experimenting with biodynamics, leading to Demeter certification in 2009, with the introduction of green manure, plant decoctions, and biodynamic preparations.
