"A superb blend of Sauvignon grapes grown on volcanic soil, with impressive freshness."

This vintage has a clean, straightforward nose of fresh fruit, mango, pear, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is round and lively, typical of volcanic terroirs. You're sure to love it!

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.
