2024 Saint-Amour Domaine des Pierres Beaujolais

Discover Saint-Amour Domaine des Pierres

Nestled in the historic Beaujolais crus, Saint-Amour Domaine des Pierres is a ruby-hued Gamay that perfectly embodies the character of its granite-rich soils. Crafted by generations of winemakers, this elegant red offers a harmonious balance of fruit, minerality, and subtle oak.

Terroir & Winemaking

The vines are planted on steep, well-drained slopes where the unique combination of pink granite and schist forces deep root systems. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo a short, cool maceration to preserve freshness. Fermentation takes place in traditional cement vats, followed by six months of aging on fine lees to enhance texture.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Bright ruby with violet highlights
• Aroma: Wild strawberries, red cherries, violet petals, and a hint of spice

Food Pairing & Serving

• Charcuterie and cured meats
