Domaine de La Madone Beaujolais Villages Blanc 2022

Domaine de la Madone is located in the heart of Beaujolais in the Beaujolais Villages area.

The vineyard spreads over 28 ha over two villages, Le Perréon and Vaux en Beaujolais (better known as “Clochemerle”). The estate is divided into 90 small plots of different exposures and altitudes (between 300 and 500 m). With vines ranging from 15 years to more than 100 years (40 years old on average). Gamay is planted on South facing steep slopes on pink granite soils; this diversity of terroirs is key to enable the Beraerd brothers to craft complex wines with depth and soul. On the Northern facing slopes, one can find the estates parcels of Chardonnay, this grape expressing more elegance on those more clay soils.

A part of the estate (2.5 ha) is now fully organic while the rest is trained using sustainable viticulture methods.

"This is a fantastic Beaujolais Villages that would embarrass many crus." 

-William Kelley The Wine Advocate.

100% Chardonnay
Light yellow green color. Very fine smell, white fruits, white flowers and some nuts/almonds flavors. Very round palate with a lot of complexity, fruit (apricot and pear), honey and grilled almonds on the finish.
