The estate and the wine |
|
|
Driven by Gilles Bonnefoy, Les Vins de la Madone has become the new benchmark for the volcanic wines of the Loire Valley. Set at the highest point of the river, on basalt and granite soils, the vineyard has been farmed biodynamically for over twenty years, allowing this unique Forézian terroir to fully express its character.
The result is a collection of meticulously crafted wines, bursting with freshness and purity, already highly sought-after by enthusiasts. |

A favourite of the Selection Committee and rated 94/100, the 2024 Côtes du Forez Red La Madone is an outstanding success — a wine of pure pleasure, charming with its elegance, freshness, and silky-smooth tannins. This pure Gamay, known locally as Gamay de Saint-Romain, offers a vibrant and deeply expressive wine, brimming with juicy fruit flavors — think red berries, Burlat cherries, and a hint of spice. Balanced, fresh, and irresistibly indulgent, it’s a wine that delights from the very first sip. |
