Domaine de la Madone
Domaine de la Madone is located on the renowned Madone slope in FLEURIE. This hillside is often considered by connoisseurs as the best of the local climates. It enjoys exceptional sunshine and its soil is made of pink granite suitable for the Gamay grape. This estate has been owned by the Despres family for 6 generations. Arnaud Despres produces various references in Fleurie as well as Viognier.
Description
This Fleurie is very different. Located on the highest hill of the Fleurie appellation, its soil made of blacker and burnt granite gives a more robust, rich and spicy wine. It is advisable to keep it for one to two years so that it reveals all the intensity of its aromas of red fruit, blackcurrant and wild blackberry.
