Domaines & Châteaux
Founded in 1953 by Marcel PIGNARD, the Estate is run by his three sons, Guy, Jean-Claude and Eric.
This very lovely Estate is in the commune of Arnas, on the outskirts of
Villefranche sur Saône.
The vines are cultivated in a responsible, rigorous manner, with careful control over yields in every parcel (pruning and bunch thinning).
The grapes are picked at peak maturity in an early-ripening sector, and are vinified in a fully-renovated vathouse (temperature-controlled vats and pneumatic press).
This beaujolais is a lovely deep ruby colour. The nose is highly aromatic and very fruity with red berry notes. Good aromatic intensity on the palate, dominated by red berries. A very easy-drinking, harmonious wine.
In 1631, Antoine BRAC, a solicitor in Beaujeu, founded the estate, which covered less than a hectare. At the time it had just a simple "vendangeoir", a small building used just for the harvest.
The Estate gradually grew during the next century to reach its current size at the end of the 18th Century.
François BRAC (1693-1779), his great-grandson, became an Alderman in Lyon and was given a title. He took on the name of the Château and was known as BRAC DE LA PERRIERE.
The descendants of an ancient Beaujolais family, the two brothers, Luc, a winegrower for the last twenty years, and Arnaud, the seventh generation and a trained biologist, run the 15 hectares of vineyards on their own. Brouilly represents 11 hectares and Côte de Brouilly 4 hectares.
They both take every care in cultivating their vines and use traditional vinification techniques.
This Brouilly has a brilliant ruby colour with purplish tints, and offers a range of fruity aromas (raspberries, Morello cherries, blackcurrants). Clean-tasting with plenty of fruit flavours. The tannins are fine and elegant.
Good balance between fruit and substance. May be laid down for 2-3 years.
The same family has been settled for 250 years in this little corner of the commune of Saint Lager, a major Beaujolais wine-making centre.
The name of Pierre TEILLARD may be found in 1765 when, with two other leading figures, he founded an "Association of owners for the consolidated sale of Beaujolais wines". He worked as a merchant and agent in wines for Paris. He was a pioneer.
It was at this time that he left Beaujeu to live in the hamlet of "Briante" in the commune of Saint Lager.
Mr. LAFONT, the Estate manager, oversees all the work in the vineyards and the vinification.
With bunch thinning and grassing between the rows of vines, every effort is made to keep yields low to ensure that the wine has a good concentration.
Deep ruby colour. This Brouilly reveals intense, fruity aromas (cherries, raspberries).
Harmonious on the palate, plenty of finesse and elegance, with a fruity freshness on the finish.
Its fullness and silky tannins will delight you and allow you to enjoy it quite young.
An intense, brilliant cherry colour with purplish tints. Complex nose with red and black berry aromas (raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants). A smooth wine with fine tannins, harmonious and complete. Ideal for all occasions, from aperitif to cheese. Ready to drink but may be laid down for 1 to 2 years.
Loïc DE LA PERRIERE runs Domaine des Nazins. His great-grandfather Achille, the sailor in the family, had bought the property after the devastating "phylloxera" period.
The DE LA PERRIERE family is one of the oldest in the Beaujolais and has been involved in wine for over four hundred years. It originates from Beaujeu; in 1500 there was already mention of the DE LA PERRIERE family in the capital of the Beaujolais.
The Estate mainly extends over two parcels, one near the hamlet of Les Nazins and the other in the hamlet of Polanche.
Made from 50-year-old vines, this wine is a dark red colour and releases intense aromas of cherries and other red berries, along with a hint of vegetal. It totally fills the mouth with its fruity aromas and reveals its good tannin structure. Serve with starters or whiter meats.
The name comes from an old legend that’s quite juicy when it’s told in dialect. It’s about an old woman who emerged from confession and mistook the priest’s advice. She understood "Don’t piss any more, old woman!", when he actually said "Don’t sin any more, old woman!".
After a week of suffering, she returned to see her confessor", who cried out "you’ve got it all wrong 'pisse vieille' (A play on words between "Piss, old lady" and "you silly old bat")". So she relieved herself there and then in the place that now bears this quaint name.
This is a chewy, hearty, very aromatic wine. Pisse Vieille Brouilly is smooth, harmonious, hearty, delicately fruity and rich.
The château dates back to the mid 11th Century. All that remains from this period is the square entrance pavilion in front of the outbuildings.
The remainder, which makes up virtually all of the Château, is 16th Century.
The Château de Varennes is a large wine estate that has followed the fortunes of its masters. Modest and humble under the Villon and Maréchal families, it was splendid and magnificent in the days of the lords of Beaujeu and the powerful Nagu family from 1395 to 1769.
It has belonged to the CHARVERIAT family since 1809; Guillaume now manages the estate and is responsible for vinification.
Situated on the hillsides between Quincié and Marchampt, the vines have an average age of forty years and give small bunches of grapes that produce a wine with concentrated tannins.
An impressive, imposing 11th Century château, this incredible property will delight you with its architecture and the quality of its wines. This full-bodied wine fills the palate with pleasant, long-lasting, intense aromas.
A very harmonious wine that may be enjoyed over the next twelve months.
François took over the Estate after the death of his father Paul DENAVIT, a highly talented fabric decorator.
In 1865, François DENAVIT’s great-great-grandfather built this superb white Napoleon III style house.
Solid and elegant, Château des Vierres sits mid-slope, overlooking the Ardières Valley, on one of the best Lantignié hillsides.
The vines are grown with great care by winegrower Jean-Marc BRANCHE and his wife. Vinification is now entrusted to the Quincié cooperative. Cellar-master Jean Luc CHAGNY uses all his thoroughness and expertise in making the Château des Vierres wines: full, racy and very elegant.
This wine has a lovely deep ruby colour. Silky, full-bodied and smooth, with pleasant flavours. Fruity, with great distinction and a very harmonious finish.
La Madone de Brouilly is the name of the Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Grape. It was built on the top of Mont Brouilly in the mid-19th Century to thank the Virgin for helping the winegrowers to defeat the terrible "oidium".
Pierre TRICHARD, the father, had started working as a tenant on the estate in 1946. His son, Daniel, bought the property in 1976; he is the perfect example of a generation that inherited the know-how of his elders.
The vineyards are in one block surrounding the delightful house.
After him, his wife Agnès ran the Estate as the couple had three daughters...
Today, her daughter Perrine has taken over part of the estate and, like her ancestors, she works hard to carry out a vinification with a maceration to extract the fine tannins that are so vital to the balance of a wine.
The wine from this estate has a delightful colour and a very elegant nose that offers a wide range of aromas (red berries, peaches, apricots). A very pleasant, highly complex wine.
The château is in the hamlet of "Les Déduits" in the commune of Fleurie. It owns 7 hectares of vines in a single block.
The oldest part of the building was erected in the 17th Century and renovated in 1880.
The current owners, Monsieur and Madame DE SEYSSEL, inherited it from Monsieur DE LA PERRIERE in 1967. This old Beaujolais family ran the estate for several centuries, either directly or with the help of a family of winegrowers.
Today, Jean-Marc BOURDON has the task of looking after the vines and carrying out the vinification.
Beneath this deep red colour is a smooth, harmonious wine dominated by violet, peony and iris aromas. Well-balanced and of excellent origin, this wine is sure to age well.
Vines have been grown in "Les Darroux" for a very long time. The Ursuline nuns from Mâcon already had a small Estate there, which was sold during the Revolution as a national asset.
Joseph COLOVRAY ran the Estate from 1984. His son, Pascal, took over in 1989. Having worked as a surveyor, Pascal decided to return to the vineyards where, as a very young man supervised by his father, he took a very active part in all the vinification operations.
All the vineyard parcels are in "Les Darroux" and thus achieve consistent production quality.
From the outset, the COLVRAY family have always emphasised concentration and structure in their wine. Pascal is a very meticulous vinifier. To obtain a good concentration, he imposes a yield from his vines that is lower than the legal limit and also uses the "grillage" technique (immersion of the marc cap).
Georges DUBOEUF has bought most of the production since 1984.
This wine has a lovely deep ruby colour. The dark berry aromas (blackberries and bilberries) are supported by a fine structure on the palate. A very elegant wine.
On a 60-hectares estate in a single block, the Château de Javernand vineyards cover 27 hectares, all Chiroubles Appellation.
The Château de Javernand house sits comfortably in its floral grounds, overlooking the family estate bought by the FOURNEAU family in 1917.
At Javernand, each generation has held firmly on to tradition (hand-harvesting, full bunch vinification) while moving on towards more modern techniques (pneumatic press, temperature control, etc.).
The vinification and maturing cellars were fully renovated in 2001 to provide greater technical control.
Today, Pierre FOURNEAU is in charge of the Estate and has been joined by his son Harold, the fifth generation to oversee the production of Chiroubles Château de Javernand.
A lively, brilliant colour, with red berry, liquorice and violet aromas. Its finesse and balance are revealed on the palate.
Domaine DESMURES is a real family story. Claude DESMURES, the grandfather, bought the property in 1920. His son Jean took over in 1939, and in 1978 it was the turn of Armand, his third son, to take up the reins.
The 6.5 very divided hectares of the Estate (twenty parcels) are at the heart of the Chiroubles Appellation and the estate’s wines are very representative of the Appellation.
Jean DESMURES has passed on to his son the love of work well done and his innate sense of good vinification.
Like his predecessors, Armand looks for substance, but aims to keep as much fruit as possible. He can be proud of his wines: his Chiroubles are often the best in the Appellation.
At Georges DUBOEUF, the names DESMURES and CHIROUBLES have been associated for a long time, and one does not go without the other. We have been selling a large proportion of production since 1969.
Particularly aromatic with dominant red berry notes (redcurrants, strawberries and cherries).
There is also a floral touch with hints of violets and lily-of-the-valley that make it a very feminine wine.
A wine of great elegance.
This little estate is on the slopes of the former volcanic Brouilly mountain, which is the central point for the Beaujolais "Cru", COTE DE BROUILLY.
Madame THIVENT has run Domaine de la Feuillée since 1975. She is well supported by a young, dynamic, talented tenant farmer.
This wine offers a lovely, brilliant ruby colour and red berry aromas with a mineral note. Clean-tasting with fine tannins. A well-balanced, harmonious wine.
In 1631, Antoine BRAC, a solicitor in Beaujeu, founded the estate, which covered less than a hectare. At the time it had just a simple "vendangeoir", a small building used just for the harvest.
The Estate gradually grew during the next century to reach its current size at the end of the 18th Century.
François BRAC (1693-1779), his great-grandson, became an Alderman in Lyon and was given a title. He took on the name of the Château and was known as BRAC DE LA PERRIERE.
The descendants of an ancient Beaujolais family, the two brothers, Luc, a winegrower for the last twenty years, and Arnaud, the seventh generation and a trained biologist, run the 15 hectares of vineyards on their own.
Arnaud has given the Côte de Brouilly his wife’s name.
They both take every care in cultivating their vines and use traditional vinification techniques.
To the eye, this Côte de Brouilly offers a lovely, brilliant crimson colour with ruby tints. The nose reveals fresh grape and iris aromas with a little touch of mineral. Heady and tannic on the palate, this is a racy, fleshy wine.
François CONDEMINE is the third generation responsible for this large 35-hectare estate. The parcels of vines are situated around the Château and enjoy an excellent South-South-East exposure.
The CONDEMINE family has been in Juliénas since around 1800 and bought this fine Estate in 1908.
In 1910, François’ grandfather, Claude CONDEMINE, carried out major works to restore the entire property.
Since 1980, the old wooden vats have been replaced by modern, temperature-controlled stainless steel ones that favour the use of the most sophisticated oenological techniques.
The property is currently run by François, assisted by his son Thierry.
A rarity in the Beaujolais: 200 metres of beautiful vaulted cellars under the château.
This Juliénas has a deep garnet colour and reveals rich red berry aromas. A powerful, structured wine, delightfully fruity with real finesse and texture.
In 1736, Etienne SORNAY, the ancestor of the MARMONNIER family, the current owners of the Estate, left his initials on a fireplace; proof indeed that this is a very old property.
MARMONNIER is a very well-known name in the wine-growing world. In 1835, a MARMONNIER invented the press that bears his name, also known as the "merican" press for commercial reasons. At the time, this was the great Lafayette fashion.
Two winegrowers share the work in the vineyards, which are planted on one of Morgon’s best "climats".
This wine offers the palate a range of bouquets and aromas characteristic of the Appellation: kirsch and sherry.
This Estate in the commune of Quincié owes its name to the TALLON family, which bought the property over two hundred years ago.
According to the famous French politician and writer Edouard Herriot, this was where "earthly paradise" was to be found. A cousin of the family, he liked to sit alone in the library above the vat-room to write his thesis.
This is an exemplary Beaujolais-Villages, with its red berry aromas dominated by strawberries and raspberries. Fresh and full on the palate, with superb balance.
The origins of the Château, with its two towers, are rather mysterious and are thought to be early 16th Century. Its first name is thought to be "Vert Pré" and the Estate the result of the breaking-up of the NAGU family’s assets in Ouroux and Quincié (Varennes).
The wine estate has been run by the same family of winegrowers for over a quarter of a century.
The 15 hectares that surround the Château are in a single block, with excellent sun exposure. The vines flourish in the rising sun to provide grapes that achieve ideal maturity to produce high-quality wines year after year.
The harvest is carefully vinified in the Château winery and the wines produced are typical of the appellation.
This château has made a wine of a brilliant purplish-red colour and elegant raspberry and violet aromas; After a clean attack, the palate reveals all its power without any harshness and ends with cherry flavours. A real "terroir" wine to be enjoyed over the next two to three years with grilled meat.
Although there are many "Clos" in the Côte d'Or, they are quite rare in the Beaujolais.
Clos des Quatre Vents covers 12 hectares. The vines surround the lovely building, hidden by a windbreak of pines, and extend along the hillside to the edge of the village of Fleurie.
Eighteen hectares of vines form part of the property of Doctor DARROZE, the owner of the Estate from 1955 to 2005. Since then, his wife and children have taken over the management of the Estate.
The "Clos" is particularly well cared for by two winegrowers, Bruno MARION and André MONTANGERON, and is exemplary for its magnificent exposure and granite "terroir".
Georges DUBOEUF has been buying the entire production for over 30 years.
An intense, brilliant garnet colour and intense, jammy, dark berry aromas with a hint of spice (pepper). A surprising Fleurie for its very fine, elegant tannin structure. A noble, racy, persistent wine. of excellent origin, this Fleurie is sure to age well.
The name "La Madone" evokes not just a sanctuary that can be seen from far away, but also a "climat" of great repute that nestles inside the Cru Fleurie. "Climat" is a specifically Burgundian word for a parcel of vines that has outstanding, commendable qualities. As there are not many, especially in the Beaujolais, each "climat" claims its own glory ~ vineyards seem to give wings to the pride of men! And to make sure it has all the luck on its side, this one claims to be under divine protection.
In 1870, the Fleurie winegrowers had promised the Madonna that they would build an "ex voto" sanctuary if the Prussian conquest failed to reach their village. The Prussians never got as far as Fleurie and the winegrowers kept their promise.
The chapel was built by the inhabitants of Fleurie on the top of a hillock completely planted with Gamay vines, and overlooks the surrounding slopes, well above the village. The vines are solidly rooted in the granite earth and seem to prosper under the benevolent eye of Mary, whose statue stands atop the chapel that was dedicated to her. The fine wine that comes from the "La Madone" vineyards is our link between earth and heaven.
This wine has a superb red colour with purple tints. On the nose, it develops peach and peony aromas. Very fruity and floral, it is a feminine, full-bodied, noble wine.
This 19th Century château is at the heart of the Juliénas Appellation in the hamlet of "Les Capitans".
The ancient cedars in the hectare of grounds bear witness to a great historic past.
The vines are planted in a single block around the Estate, on an excellent "terroir".
The South-South-East exposure means that the grapes enjoy plenty of sunshine and achieve an ideal maturity.
In popular tradition, the hamlet is said to preserve traces of a Roman past. It was considered to be a strategic point and is thought to have been a headquarters, hence the name "Capitan", which refers to its function as an officers’ quarters.
In the ‘40s, the château belonged to Monsieur Victor PEYRET, one of whose legacies is the Victor PEYRET prize.
The prize is awarded every year to a personality who has helped to promote the wine region.
A deep red colour with a rich nose, revealing complex peach, cinnamon and occasionally blackcurrant aromas. On the palate, this Juliénas offers a very good structure that should allow it to age with great elegance.
This very fine Estate is made up of three hectares of vines surrounding a magnificent house that was the former home of a Lyon silk manufacturer.
Madame JORCIN’s father-in-law bought the château in 1933.
Since 1975, when her husband died, Madame JORCIN has been helped by two winegrowers (father and son) who work in the vines and take care of the vinification.
A third of the production is vinified with "grillage" (immersed marc cap) to extract maximum colour and tannins. The wines are then matured in forty barrels that lie in a beautiful vaulted cellar beneath the building, in line with Madame JORCIN’s wishes. She is very attached to her wine and follows every stage of vinification with great care.
Georges DUBOEUF has been buying the Estate’s wine for several decades.
An intense ruby colour. This wine reveals red and black berry aromas with hints of spices, cinnamon and vanilla. A well-structured wine that offers elegance and length on the palate.
This is a parcel in one of the most prestigious "climats" in the Moulin à Vent appellation.
The vines are worked with great care. During the harvest, the grapes are sorted very carefully by hand and then undergo a traditional vinification with "grillage" (the grapes are immersed).
This helps to extract colour and tannins and makes the wine very suitable for laying down.
This wine has a colour that fluctuates between deep ruby and dark garnet. Robust and complete, with notes of vanilla and roasted aromas as a result of ageing in the barrel. These notes fade with time to give way to spicy, ripe fruit, violet and even faded rose aromas.
The wine has excellent laying-down potential.
At the foot of the famous windmill (Moulin à Vent) that gave its name to the Appellation, "Clos du Moulin à Vent" forms a monopoly at the heart of this prestigious Appellation. The idea of a monopoly is very common in Burgundy. The vineyards cover 92 ares and became part of the LABRUYERE family assets in 2001. It is the home of a first-class "Cru".
It had previously belonged to Doctor TAGENT, who, prior to 1900, had named it Clos du Moulin à Vent, and this became the name of the Appellation in 1924.
It is admirably situated on a legendary "terroir". It is therefore particularly well looked after and is vinified separately for a long time, which, along with maturing in oak barrels, gives it a prestige that is much sought-after by all discerning wine-lovers.
An intense colour that fluctuates between deep ruby and dark garnet. As a young wine, it reveals floral and fruity aromas dominated by violets and supported by a hint of cherry. The range of aromas becomes more complex over the years, with the appearance of iris, faded roses, spices, ripe fruit and truffles.
"Domaine de la Tour du Bief" is a very large property as, combined with "Domaine de la Rochelle", it covers 47 hectares.
The Comte de Sparre family, descendants of Bernadotte, have lived here for several centuries.
Led by a very dynamic estate manager, Guy Jacquemont, six winegrowers look after the vines, which have an average age of 55 years.
The cellar is run with great care by Robert Bridet, who has carried out the vinification process with great style for several years.
The estate winery is outside Chénas and impresses visitors by its pristine tidiness and perfectly aligned tuns and barrels.
The wine reveals dark berry and toasted oak aromas. Moderately robust and smooth, it offers great finesse despite its power. The wine offers dark berry flavours (bilberries, blackcurrants) along with chocolate, cherries, blackberries and spices.
A full finish supported by firm tannins.
Gérard CHARVET is passionate about his vines and his wine. His family has lived in Chénas for over a century and has turned him into a meticulous, hard-working winegrower.
Gérard has run the estate with great talent since his father died in 1983.
His winery is very modern and functional. Gérard has listened to the advice of his "elders": he makes wines that regularly win awards in the various competitions.
He keeps his wines in a combination of stainless steel vats and oak barrels and gets the best from both.
A garnet colour with purplish tints. This wine is characterised by intense dark berry aromas (blackcurrants, blackberries) with floral scents such as peonies, sustained by a hint of spice. Its tannins have great finesse, giving the wine power and elegance. Superb length.
For five generations, the LACOQUE family has worked its vineyards in the commune of Villié Morgon with the same passion.
Hervé is currently in charge of this 11-hectare estate, which is mainly situated in the "Côte du Py" "climat".
Always at the cutting edge of technology, the latest renovations to the winery are only 18 months old.
A ten-day maceration combined with relatively high temperatures (30°C) produces structured wines in which the finesse of the terroir is omnipresent.
A garnet colour with light amber tints. The nose is intense and aromatic: jammy dark berries with a hint of kirsch. Clean-tasting, with fine, elegant, firm tannins. A harmonious wine with a good, long finish.
Franck and Cyrille CHAVY are the fourth generation of winegrowers on the MORGON "cru"; with their father Henri, they run vineyards that are mainly planted in the "Charmes" and "Corcelette" "climats".
The vines are 50 years old on average and are grown using responsible techniques. Great care is taken to control yields.
They have two wineries (renovated last year with a pneumatic press in one and a Vaslin press in the other) which allow them to complete a 6 to 12-day maceration and produce wines full of finesse and roundness that win them many medals every year.
Very Morgon, chewy and firm, a robustness that augurs well and a subtle taste of kernels and kirsch.
The story of a wine is often closely linked to that of a man. Jean Ernest DESCOMBES was a very popular figure in the Beaujolais, a jolly character, always ready for a celebration. He had managed to set up one of the finest Morgon estates and promoted the "Cru" with great enthusiasm for thirty years. His welcoming cellars were visited by a large number of journalists and members of the wine trade, who came to taste his fine bottles. Those who knew him will never forget him.
An outstanding winegrower, Jean Ernest DESCOMBES was also a gifted vinifier. Three quarters of his vines were over 50 years old and were planted in the best "terroirs", such as Le Py, la Roche Pillée, Les Pillets and Bellevue. The superb nectars produced on the Estate won him an impressive list of awards.
After he left for the Lord’s vineyards in October 1993, his daughter Nicole took up the torch, with a dynamism that would have made her father proud. Concerning him, she always says that wine always resembles the person who made it. She says the same about her father’s Morgon. An admirable destiny which, for a lifetime, links man to wine, mortal to immortal, Mozart to music, Michelangelo to sculpture. By such blessed encounters we are showered by fragments of eternity.
A great, very harmonious Morgon with blackcurrant, plum, violet and old rose aromas. The wine gently coats the palate to reveal successive waves of fresh red berries, especially cherries. A soft, beautifully mature wine.
Situated in the hamlet of "Les Buyats", this Estate dates back to when the COILLARD family bought it in 1820.
Today, Pierre COILLARD takes care of the vines and vinification. He is a dynamic, enthusiastic winegrower and a delightful personality.
A fervent supporter of the new "Régnié" Appellation, he communicates his passion for this "Cru" very strongly. If you happen to go and see him, he will give you a glass of his Régnié, along with some goat’s cheese and a few slices of sausage.
His friendly and professional relationship with Georges DUBOEUF goes back many years, as the latter has been selling his production since 1977, before it became a "Cru".
In the past, the wines of the Estate were appreciated by the café owners in Lyon, who came to remove them in the barrel as soon as fermentation had ended. This was the Beaujolais Nouveau of the period, before the sales boom that this impetuous wine ambassador was to enjoy a few decades later.
A dazzling ruby red colour with a complex blackberry bouquet and silky tannins that give it a good structure.
Monsieur PERRICHON, a hatmaker in Lyon, left this Estate in the hamlet of "La Pirolette" to his grandson Guy ROCHE.
The family has been in Saint Amour for many years. The Estate has been family-run since 1820. The house, which backs on to the winery, was built in around 1600.
Three winegrowers work on the property: Guy MOTTIN, who took over from his father, Jacques JANIN and Didier POITEVIN. Each is responsible for a part of the vineyard. All three seek to produce a wine that gives a full expression of its "terroir".
In the vineyard, they scrape between the rows to force the roots to seek their nutrients deep down.
When the grapes arrive in the vats, wooden hurdles are used to keep them submerged; this helps to extract colour and tannins.
This wine has a lovely, sparkling ruby red colour. The very pleasing nose offers delicate raspberry, redcurrant and peach aromas. The palate reveals firm, generous tannins and great aromatic complexity.
Domaine des Sablons has been the property of GFA Roux Paufique for over a century.
Five generations of the ADOIR family have succeeded each other. It’s currently the turn of Daniel ADOIR and his son to grow the vines on these sandy soils, hence the name "Domaine des Sablons". High planting density (10,000 to 12,000 vines per hectare) means that the grapes are small and produce rich, concentrated wines.
The entire harvest is vinified on the Estate by a well-known vinifier, Monsieur Jean-Michel ROUX.
This wine has a delightful, brilliant ruby colour. Fine and well-balanced, it has retained all the fruit of the Gamay grape, with kirsch aromas. This Saint Amour has a tender, harmonious body.
The 15-hectare estate belongs to the DELORME family, who also make white wines in addition to this Saint Amour.
The Saint Amour vines have an average age of 55, and some of them are up to 80 years old. Only forty ares were planted 35 years ago, which is one reason that explains the superb quality of the wines. The other reason is that Monsieur DELORME is particularly meticulous.
The winery was completely renovated in 2004 with temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to obtain wines that are even fruity.
A garnet colour, with very delicate blackcurrant and cherry aromas. Fruity and fleshy, with fine tannins. A refined, full-bodied wine.
