Guillaume Chanudet `La Madone` Fleurie AOC, Beaujolais, France. This vibrant red still wine, crafted from Gamay grapes, offers a beautifully perfumed nose leading to a bright and juicy red fruit core. It undergoes 100% whole bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a short semi-carbonic maceration in concrete, followed by stainless steel aging, with no added SO2. The palate is structured with firm yet ripe tannins and a supple texture, making it a versatile dry wine. This wine is suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets.

Vinification
After being harvested by hand, Guillaume Chanudet's 'La Madone' is 100% whole-bunch fermented using indigenous yeast, before undergoing semi-carbonic maceration, in concrete vats, for 10-12 days. This differs from previous vintages, where Guillaume utilised longer extractions (20 days). He now feels that by roughly halving this time, he can better express the "grands terroirs". Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel before bottling. No additional SO2 is used throughout the winemaking process.
Flavour profile
This Fleurie offers a beautifully perfumed nose, leading to a bright and juicy red fruit core. The palate is well-structured with firm yet ripe tannins, culminating in a supple and expressive finish.
