Produced by Valentine and Stéphane Mathieu, this expressive Gamay showcases the depth, freshness and distinctive mineral character of one of Fleurie's celebrated vineyard sites.\u003cbr\u003eThe La Madone vineyard is situated just below the Chapelle de la Madone, overlooking the village of Fleurie at approximately 425 metres above sea level. Its shallow granitic sandy soils, south and southeast-facing exposure, and old vines planted in 1976 contribute to the wine's concentration, aromatic complexity and refined structure.\u003cbr\u003eCrafted using traditional Beaujolais winemaking techniques, the grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted before undergoing whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration in concrete vats.

The vines, planted in 1975, produce Gamay grapes that reflect the distinctive character of this exceptional terroir.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 vintage experienced challenging growing conditions, including cold weather and hail that significantly reduced yields. Despite the difficult season, the resulting wine maintains the domaine's commitment to purity, freshness and elegant expression.\u003cbr\u003eWinemaking follows a low-intervention philosophy, beginning with natural fermentation using indigenous yeasts and carbonic maceration in concrete tanks.
