A ruby color. An irresistibly perfumed wine with aromas of red fruits, marked by raspberry, strawberry and gooseberry. On the palate, the wine is drinkable and fruity. Its beautiful balance and its harmony on the red fruits make this Saint Amour, a red wine with immediate pleasure with tension. To keep all the complexity of the fruit, we invite you to drink this wine within 2 years and up to 5 years for lovers of cellar-aged wines.

Our plots are harvested manually and vinified separately in cement vats. The carbonic maceration lasts 9 days with regular punching down and pumping over in order to work as much as possible to extract the phenolic matter from our grapes. The malolactic fermentation is carried out then the Saint Amour is matured 6 months before bottling.

The 2023 Saint-Amour Vieilles Vignes is an old-vine cuvée that comes from Les Champs Grillés in the Coteaux Juliénas. Given its precision of structure and length, it is a display of refinement that surpasses the typical Saint-Amour. The bouquet unfolds with aromas of ripe plums, blueberries, warm spices, rose petals and a subtle twist of orange zest. It's supported by bright acidity on the medium to full-bodied palate. The pebble-like tannins form a firm yet elegant backbone, enveloped by layers of concentrated, silken fruit. Anticipated Maturity: 2025-2034
