Remember how dang good the 2015 Domaine Madone Beaujolais Nouveau was? It was not only our best seller (we sold through 5 cases in like 4 days!), but it was also noted as the best Nouveau of the 2015 vintage by many other industry professionals. I thought to myself back in November, "If just their Nouveau is THIS good, imagine what the straight 15 Beaujolais will be like." My suspicions were confirmed today when I got to taste the wine. 15 was a stellar vintage, and this little, humble, family run domaine are some of the kindest people you'll meet, producing just a handful of wines. They are located just outside of the "cru" villages of the region, but that means nothing when it comes to Madone. They are harvesting by hand from vines upwards of 100 years old from extremely steep vineyards that are higher in altitude (1500 feet above sea level!) than there more famous neighbors, with a soil composition similar to those of Fleurie with it's pink granite soils. This 2015 is chock full of big red fruits, it's bright, but comes with a nose and palate thats display the richer side of Gamay with notes of dark raspberry all integrated nicely with soft tannins and a bright acidity.
The fact that wines of this caliber, with this long of a winemaking history, made from 100 year old vines, sell at this price, is pretty much a crime. Beaujolais is one of the greatest values of the wine world.
There's not much of this to go around as only about 50 cases came into the tri-state. So we're gonna grab as much as we can. If you want some, let us know!
