On volcanic soil, the plot is divided between Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc and Gamay de Bouze à Jus Rouge. The wine is pure juice, exuding blackcurrant bud aromas, crisp and easy to drink, with great suppleness. Fragile because it has no protection, it should be drunk within the day. It is the perfect wine, ideal for spring and summer meals.

About the estate:
Gilles Bonnefoy created his estate from scratch in 1997: vineyards were planted between 2001 and 2016, and the cellar was built in 2004. Today, the 10.5-hectare estate is run using biodynamic methods and is located on the outskirts of two volcanoes: La Madone and Le Pigeonnier.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
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.
