Domaine Gilles Coperet Fleurie La Madone: An Elegant Cru Beaujolais

The Fleurie La Madone from Domaine Gilles Coperet is a superb example of why Fleurie is affectionately known as the 'Queen of Beaujolais'. Produced from vines grown on the esteemed pink granite soils of the La Madone climat, this wine offers a sophisticated, aromatic, and silky-smooth experience. It's an elegant red that’s light enough for a summer gathering yet complex enough for a proper Sunday roast.

Tasting Notes: Floral Finesse and Silky Structure

Made from 100% Gamay, this wine is meticulously crafted with whole-bunch, semi-carbonic maceration before being aged in concrete tanks. This process ensures the wine retains its delicate floral bouquet and fresh fruit intensity.

• Colour: A deep, alluring ruby red.
• Bouquet: Distinctive aromas of violets, rose petals, and iris dominate, intertwined with juicy redcurrant and raspberry fruit.
• Taste: The texture is wonderfully silky and soft, with fine, polished tannins. It has a fresh acidity and a subtle mineral core that provides excellent length and lift on the finish.

Serving & Pairing Recommendations

Serve this wine lightly chilled (13°C) to best capture its vibrant fruit and floral notes. It is incredibly versatile.

• Pairing Suggestions: A fantastic match for a traditional herb-roasted chicken, a game terrine, or a quality ploughman's lunch featuring fine cheeses and charcuterie.
• Best Enjoyed: Suitable for drinking young, but the structure allows for rewarding cellaring over the next five years.
