Saint Amour
Saint Amour AOC
Gamay
The name Saint Amour, imparts a romantic air to these wines. It can be difficult to find many options for this coveted Cru outside of France. This Saint Amour has refined aromatics with notes of red cherry skin, flowers of peony and rose, and a savory touch of leather and balsamic. The palate is supple with good length and tension striking balance between acidity, thin tannins, and pleasurable drinkability.
POINTS OF INTEREST
With 12 hectares of very old vines averaging between 60 to 100 years old on the estate, 3 of these hectares come from the most northerly Cru of Saint Amour. The first certified biodynamic and organic winery in the area, Ecocert (2007) and Demeter (2015), Alexandra de Vazeilles runs the Bachelards estate with the mindset of making the finest wines, to be compared to the great houses of Burgundy and the northern Rhône.
