Saint Amour 2022
Saint Amour
Saint Amour
Peppery cherry with juicy rock.
Dark ruby red with lively violet reflections that are clearly visible in the glass. The color shows density but no overripeness; rather, the compact presence of a classic Cru-Beaujolais that promises both fruit and structure.
At first you smell the rock: pebbles and minerals. Slowly a clear red fruit emerges: dark cherry with a strong spiciness like white pepper.
Saint Amour is very juicy in the mouth. The tannins provide the structure and ensure a particularly beautiful harmony. And that is exactly where the flow of drinking begins, which means you can really enjoy this wine.
Saint-Amour originates from the northernmost Cru of Beaujolais, where granite-rich soils and slopes with excellent exposure give Gamay complex aromas and structure. Here, carbonic maceration is traditionally used, which preserves the wine's fruity clarity while also allowing it to age well and display its terroir.
The new generation in traditional Beaujolais
Winegrowing seems to have had a home in Saint Amour since time immemorial. Not only is the dreamy village part of Burgundy, but also part of Beaujolais. A few decades ago, the slightly sparkling wine from Beaujolais had a bad reputation, but since the new generation has come along, it is clear that those days are over.
Grégory Barbet and his sisters took over the reins of the winery in 2013 and do not produce on a mass scale. Their goal: to arouse emotions through tangible terroir. Easy to say, but that is precisely why real professionals are needed at work, such as the likeable Grégory Barbet. He has his winery on the ridge near the church of Saint Amour. The building itself dates back to 1600 and takes its name from the small white flower that can be found here (German: moss eye).
