Domaine de la Madone, Gamay, Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau, Burgundy, France 2024

100% Gamay

The Bererd brothers of Domaine de la Madone produce one of the finest values for the quality in the world. Gorgeously pure and textured with delicate, yet profound flavors of wild strawberry and black cherry.

Practicing organic. Very old vines (50+ years old on average, with many 75-00 years old). Steep & high altitude vines (450m). Semi-carbonic maceration, indigenous yeast. Aged in a mix of stainless steel and concrete.

Domaine de la Madone is a true gem. Few estates craft such character-rich, expressive Gamay outside of Beaujolais’ band of “cru” villages. But that’s Madone’s secret — their vineyards really should be rated Beaujolais cru. This is certainly one of the finest values for the quality anywhere in the world.
