Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
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. Harvest is conducted manually, in whole bunches. Semi-carbonic maceration and malolactic fermentation take place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine sees no oak.
Interesting Fact
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.
Serving Hints
This wine is a great match for rich foods, such as filet mignon, beef bourguignon poultry with mushrooms, and aged cheeses
