Domaine de la Madone
La Madone Fleurie Gamay
Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This is labeled “Grille Midi,” which may be a specific cuvée. It with peppery and astringent at first, but has loosened up considerably after an hour’s worth of air. Nose then shows very traditional hard cherry candy fruit and lots of crushed granite. In the mouth, it’s dense but fairly light on its feet. There’s still a lot of fine-grained tacky tannins integrated, suggesting to me this will keep and improve at least a couple more years. A somewhat macho style for Fleurie.

Very light, like a bit watered Pinot noir. Almost without bouquet, tastes dull. Not to recommend.
