The wine region of Saint-Amour
Northernmost cru of Beaujolais, Gamay sole grape on ~300 ha. Fine and perfumed signature reds with notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, peony, violet, sweet spices and mineral touch, silky tannins and silky mouth — the tenderest of the ten crus, to drink young or keep 3-5 years. 17 identified terroirs (granite, schist, clays). Valentine's Day marketing star thanks to evocative name.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
