Domaine des Billards Saint-Amour 2015
Saint-Amour, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceAll of the welcoming fruitiness and friendly generosity of Saint Amour is on full display here, with wild violets, cherry blossoms, raspberry, red liquorice and a lick of kirsch lining the medium-bodied palate. From the lieu-dit of Les Billards, this is 50-100-year-old, sustainably farmed vines, mid-slope on older alluvial soils: heavy clay over weathered granite. This was on skins for 12 days (under a weighted grill) before up to six months in a mix of older foudres and cement, affording a welcoming textural tannin element to buffer the perfumed and gentle red fruit. A beauty. #GoGamayGo.Tasted: 04 August 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $26.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
