Domaine de la Madone Beaujolais-Villages Le Perreon 2021

Domaine de la Madone Description

The Bererd family’s vines are some of the highest in region, sitting between 1,600 and 2,000 feet above sea level. Vineyards are perilously steep, far too dangerous for tractors; harvesters need to be as agile as mountain goats to cut and gather the fruits of the family’s ancient Gamay vines.

Vines range from 40 to 60 years old, with many 100 years old or older. Soils are mostly pink decomposed granite, like cru Fleurie. The family practices sustainable farming, avoiding pesticides and following organic methods whenever possible.

Grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, and sorted at the cellar door. Fruit is fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aged also in tank.

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of raspberries, cherry blossoms, minerals. Tangy, juicy yet refined, silky; flavors of red berries, and baking spices.

Pair with roasted chicken or turkey, flavorful cheeses like Roquefort and grilled pork sausage.

James Suckling: 91 Points

The attractive black-cherry and violet aromas are married to a generous body and surprisingly fine tannins in this impressive Beaujolais-Villages. Keeps pumping out the fruit at the long, velvety finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

Offering up aromas of sweet red berries, orange oil, spices and vine smoke, the 2021 Beaujolais-Villages Le Perréon is a medium to full-bodied, ample and lively wine built around supple tannins, concluding with a saline finish. It's a charming, expressive wine from the high-altitude granitic slopes of Perréon in the southern Beaujolais.
