Château de Saint-Amour
Saint-Amour is the northernmost Beaujolais Cru, and the smallest. The “romance” of wine is especially pronounced in this region by virtue of its name. The Siraudin family owns the Estate.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant garnet-red color. Great aromatic intensity, with notes of black cherry and ripe red berries, as gamays harvested at the right maturity know how to express. Heady and tasty, this Saint Amour offers a smooth texture on the palate with fine, silky tannins.
Vineyards
The southwest-facing vineyards of the Estate include 49.4 acres, where most of the vineyards are more than 20 years old and trellised in the traditional Goblet style.
Winemaking
Harvest is conducted manually, in whole bunches. Semi-carbonic maceration and malolactic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine sees no oak.
