Saint-Amour: The tenderness of intense reds.

Cherished by barely 50 winemakers, from its granitic and clay schist soils Saint-Amour gives, two types of wine with sparkling ruby red robes, fruity and floral flavours. Depending on how the winemaker chooses to vinify his wine the Cru will be tender with very characteristic and complex red fruit, peony and peach aromas resulting from short maceration. The best time to enjoy them is within 12 to 15 months, or Powerful, fattier, full-bodied and stamped with kirsch, spice and mignonette aromas. They will reach their peak around 4 to 5 years after the harvest depending on the vintage. Rubbing shoulders with the terroirs of Saint-Véran, the cradle of Saint-Amour is one of the smallest Beaujolais appellations, much looked forward to for Saint Valentine's Day.
