Fleurie Madone, 2024

A Fleurie from Mee Godard, best known for her Morgons. La Madone is the Fleurie hillside named for the old chapel above its vines.

Mee Godard built her name on old-vine Morgon, farming organically since 2016 and making wines with real structure. In 2024 she also bottled Fleurie, the Beaujolais cru known for its delicate, floral style. La Madone is a climat, a named vineyard site, high on the hill of Fleurie below the chapel that gave it its name. Expect Gamay in its more floral, delicate register, in the hands of a winemaker who openly likes tannin.
