Domaine de La Madone Fleurie 'Madone'

The palate is silky, lifted, and red‑fruited, opening with fresh cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry. The fruit feels bright and supple, shaped by Fleurie’s high‑granite slopes and the warm 2019 vintage. A mid‑palate of rose petal, red plum, and subtle spice adds gentle complexity, while the tannins remain fine, soft, and lightly grippy, giving just enough structure to frame the fruit. A thread of granite‑derived minerality brings freshness and lift. As it opens, hints of mandarin peel, dried herbs, and light earth emerge, adding aromatic nuance without weight. The finish is soft, fresh, and lightly floral, tapering with notes of red berry skin, rose, and a faint mineral echo. Overall, it’s a bright, floral, easy‑drinking Fleurie — supple, charming, and expressive of the La Madone slope.
