Wines from Saint-Amour

Sort By:

Paul Beaudet 2009 Clos de la Brosse Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Cellar Selection

Price $23

The rare ripeness of the 2009 vintage is shown in the high alcohol, for Beaujolais at least, of this wine. Not that it shows, except in weight. The acidity is right there along with ripe plums. An ageworthy, finely concentrated wine. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

A wine with an important structure, tasting very young at this stage. There is great acidity through a lovely, fragrant, forward wine. The acidity gives everything a lift of fruitiness. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Trenel Fils 2010 Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Price $24

Named after a Roman centurion rather than a god of love, Saint-Amour produces structured Beaujolais. With its solid tannins and firm structure, this wine proves the point. It is concentrated, with acids and minerally red fruits dominating at the moment. It needs to age for 1–2 years. — R.V. (3/1/2013)
