smooth-drinking

no added sulfur

pretty bottle

Grown on volcanic soil, the vineyard is divided between Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc and Gamay de Bouze à Jus Rouge. The wine is a pure, lively expression with aromas of blackcurrant buds—crisp, easy-drinking, and exceptionally supple. Delicate and unprotected, it’s best enjoyed the same day. It’s the quintessential everyday wine, perfect for gatherings over spring and summer meals.

About the estate:

Rated estate (2027 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Les Vins de la Madone offer one of the most exciting experiences in the Côtes du Forez, a low-key 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), which include a Roussanne and a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. This vibrancy, drawn from granite and volcanic soils, is achieved through biodynamic vineyard management (certified in 2008), winemaking that partially uses whole clusters, and aging exclusively in tanks. The star is firmly set.
