Domaine des Billards Saint-Amour 2013
Saint-Amour, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceClassic fruitiness of Saint-Amour here, with kirsch and wild blueberry supported by cool stony minerality. Acids are pomegranate tart and tannins are structured and quite grippy, the latter a result of a 15-25 day ferment with submerged crust. Bright and honestly rustic, finishing with fine white pepper and a lick of heat (though it's a coveted 12.5 percent alcohol). Pour alongside grilled mushrooms and poultry.Tasted: 15 November 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $26.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
