Burgundy France
"Distinguished by ancestry dating to the 16th century, brothers Olivier, Bruno and Frederic Bererd, proprietors of Domaine de la Madone, farm this family vineyard where many of their low-yielding Gamay vines are 100 years old. The domaine is located in Perreon (also the maiden name of Marie Odette, the Bererd brothers' mother!), a superior, northern, hilly part of the Beaujolais region. Madone’s Beaujolais-Villages has consistently received critical acclaim from Robert Parker, who writes that the Madone style is “...about as hedonistic and compelling an example of Beaujolais as readers are likely to find." ~Winery notes
