A high-quality vintage, made from an original blend of three little-known red grape varieties grown on granite soil: Gamay de Chaudenay, Gamay de Bouze, and Gamaret. Intense nose of black fruits, dense and full on the palate, marked by superb aromas of black cherry and bigarreau cherry, with a supple, fruity finish. This is a wonderful discovery that will delight those looking for new experiences.

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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
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.

Note and opinion by Mr. CHRISTIAN G. Published on 01/26/2024
A trilogy of Gamays, just to show that this grape variety comes in several varieties, each with its own distinct character. Should be consumed slowly to appreciate its beautiful originality, with the very tannic "Gamaret" being more serious than a typical Gamay.
