Guillaume Chanudet Fleurie La Madone 2024
£21.95
The wine
La Madone is Guillaume Chanudet's fragrant Fleurie, pure Gamay from granite slopes below the village's hilltop chapel. Whole-bunch fermentation keeps it fresh and perfumed.
Wild raspberry, red cherry, violet and iris fill an aromatic nose. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with bright red fruit, a mineral lift and fine tannins running to a floral finish.
Lovely lightly chilled with charcuterie, poultry and pork. Serve at cool room temperature.

Chanudet's Fleurie is bright, mineral and beautifully balanced. It shows exactly why the cru is so loved. A lovely taste of fine Beaujolais.
