The 2022 Vins de la Madone Les Rougeots du Clos Gamays is a beautifully vibrant and artisanal Gamay from the granite-rich hills of Beaujolais. Produced with a low-intervention philosophy from organically farmed vineyards, the wine reflects the domaine’s focus on purity, freshness and drinkability while highlighting the energetic character of cool-climate Gamay. The nose reveals wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry layered alongside violet, fresh herbs and subtle earthy spice, giving the wine impressive aromatic lift and charm.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of juicy red berry fruit, delicate floral complexity and gentle savoury notes are balanced by freshness and supple texture, finishing lively, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent transparency and drinkability. Semi-carbonic fermentation and restrained élevage preserve the wine’s youthful vibrancy and purity while allowing the granite-driven terroir to shine clearly through the wine.
