Bonnefoy (La Madone) IGP Urfé Roussanne de Madone
From Loire
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The beautiful Roussanne from Gilles Bonnefoy is from 20+ year-old vines (partly massale selection from Quenard in Savoie) grown on the steep south face of the volcano of Purchon. Bonnefoy farms these young vines carefully, keeping yields very low to promote concentration and harvesting late (Roussanne takes a long time to ripen fully) and by hand. Native yeast fermentation takes place in used barrels; the wine ages in the same. In the glass, the Roussanne is pale and shows a very expressive nose of white flowers, green herbs, and a touch of orchard fruits. Given the freshness of the nose, the palate is surprisingly and lusciously dense and complex, with pear, peach, citrus and herbal notes as well as long and broad minerality. A great expression of Roussanne on unique Volcanic terroir. Only 3000 bottles produced. |
