2020 Domaine de la Madone Beaujolais-Villages Le Perréon Bio

"Aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingle with hints of potpourri and rose petals to preface the terrific 2020 Beaujolais-Villages Bio, a medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent wine with lively acids and powdery tannins. There's a touch more structure and energy here than in the regular Le Perréon bottling, which tempers the wine's exuberant fruit to a lovely effect. Drink Date: 2021 - 2027 As I've written before, the steep slopes and decomposed pink granite of Le Perréon mean that its vineyards number among the finest in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation, and their potential for high quality is exemplified by the Bererd brothers' Domaine de la Madone. Invariably beautifully balanced, supple and charming, these wines are delicious on release but also reliably age with grace. The 2020 vintage represents another fine success, and everything reviewed here comes warmly recommended." - William Kelley Review Date: August 2021
