From the famed La Madone slope in Fleurie (c. 430m) on pale pink decomposed granite, this 2020 Gamay is elegant and perfumed with violet, red and black fruits and a mineral finish.
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 produces the most elegant expression possible from his wife Geneviève’s vines. It has a gentle colour, violet note on the nose, a wonderfully supple texture, and red and black fruits backed by a strong mineral character on the finish.
