Domaine de la Madone is one of our favorites—few estates craft such character-rich, expressive Gamay outside of Beaujolais’ band of ‘cru’ villages. But that’s Madone’s secret—their vineyards should be rated Beaujolais cru (or grand cru, if we had any say in it). This is one of the finest values for quality in the world. Their Nouveau consistently finishes at the top of Nouveau rankings in The Wine Spectator, The New York Times, and other major publications. There are many terroir parallels between the village of Le Perréon and cru Fleurie, a village known for its aromatic and wonderfully elegant Gamay. Brothers Olivier and Bruno Bererd tend older vines, many which are more than 100 years old. This is staggeringly delicious Nouveau from a master in Beaujolais.
