Domaine de La Madone Fleurie 'Madone' Vieilles Vignes

The palate is deep, concentrated, and beautifully lifted, opening with black cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry. The fruit feels pure and vivid, shaped by the tiny berries and low yields of the 70–100‑year‑old vines. A mid‑palate of violet, red plum, and subtle spice adds aromatic lift, while the tannins are fine, silky, and lightly mineral‑grained, giving the wine both charm and structure. A clear thread of granite‑derived tension keeps the richness focused. As it opens, hints of mandarin peel, dried herbs, and crushed stone emerge, adding nuance without weight. The finish is long, floral, and quietly powerful, tapering with notes of red berry skin, rose petal, and a faint mineral echo. Overall, it’s a concentrated yet graceful Fleurie — old‑vine depth wrapped in the perfume and finesse of the La Madone slope.
