“A superb blend of Sauvignon Blancs grown on volcanic soil, with impressive freshness”

About the estate:

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or 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 offers one of the most exciting experiences in the Côtes du Forez, a low-key appellation situated between Saint-Étienne and Clermont-Ferrand, at the gateway to the Livradois-Forez Nature 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 vibrancy, drawn from granite and volcanic soils, is achieved through biodynamic viticulture (certified in 2008), vinification that partially uses whole clusters, and aging exclusively in tanks. The star is firmly set.
