About wine:
Migmatite offers a nose of rare precision, with notes of red and blue fruits. Blueberry and blackberry coulis, all enveloped in voluptuous tannins.
About the estate:
Les Vins de la Madone wines offer one of the most exciting experiences in the Côtes du Forez, a little-known appellation located between Saint-Étienne and Clermont-Ferrand, at the gateway to the Livradois-Forez Natural Park. Gilles Bonnefoy strives to capture the sparkling purity of the fruit, both in his Gamay reds and in his whites (IGP d'Urfé), a Roussanne and a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. This brilliance, drawn from granite and volcanic soils, is achieved through biodynamic viticulture (certified in 2008), partial whole-bunch vinification, and aging exclusively in vats. The star is firmly in place.
