Gamay does well in the volcanic soils here, and it was that potential Gilles Bonnefoy saw when he set up his estate in the mid-1990s. He now farms eight hectares of hillside vineyards, converted to organic growing in 2001 and to biodynamics in 2009. Mémoire de Madone comes from the estate's oldest plots, fifty-year-old Gamay rooted in basalt, cropped at yields as low as 25 hl\/ha. The result is a good deal more structured than the light Gamay the region is often assumed to produce, without losing the lift the volcanic soils give it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking well now and over the next five years, with a light chill if preferred. Good with charcuterie, roast pork or mushrooms on toast. Serve at 16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
