Domaine Chamonard 'Fleurie La Madone' 2023
Region: Beaujolais, France
Grapes: Gamay
Vineyard: Organic
Cellar: Native yeast fermentation. Unfiltered and unfined. Low added sulphites.
La Madone, the most famous plot in Fleurie, and at 430m the highest of the appellation, offers a soil of pale pink decomposed granite, on a granite bedrock. Jean-Claude Chanudet produces the most elegant expression possible from his wife Geneviève’s vines. It has a gentle colour, violet notes on the nose, a wonderfully supple texture, and red and black fruits backed by a strong mineral character on the finish.
