Saint-Amour

Château Bonnet - Saint-Amour Côte de Besset 2022

"An undeniable success (Hachette)".

"Located on the border with the Juliénas cru, Côte de Besset offers a sandstone terroir for the estate's 60-year-old vines. The grapes were macerated for 8 days in whole bunches to deliver a wine of beautiful aromatic intensity, with notes of ripe red fruit, strawberry in particular, round and long on the palate. An undeniable success. (Guide Hachette 2025)

Domaine de la Pirolette - Saint-Amour Le Carjot 2022

"An irresistible plot-based cru with incredible potential!"

"A generous red with a nose of chocolate, black cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry coulis. Rich and juicy, with full body and ripe tannins. Concentrated Saint-Amour. (James Suckling 2024).

Domaine de la Pirolette - Saint-Amour La Poulette 2021

"Aged in concrete eggs for incredible tannin purity and finesse!"

"Exceptional ripeness and elegance, for the 2021 vintage, make this young Saint-Amour stand out. But the beautiful base of fine tannins, wrapped in ripe raspberry, is also very impressive. A long, velvety finish". (James Suckling 2023).

"What love this red cuvée with its pretty raspberry notes!"

"Juicy red with notes of raspberry, bark, orange and redcurrant. It's medium-bodied, with medium-firm tannins that melt into the berries." (James Suckling 2024

"A love of red wine, mouth-watering and harmonious!"

This wine is the most recent addition to the domaine. This small parcel of 28 ares, on a granitic, very stony terroir, dominates the village of Saint-Véran to the north of the St Amour appellation. In its intense ruby color, it's a sensual, easy-drinking wine with lots of personality, delicate, with a beautiful harmony between fruit and tannins.

Domaine de la Pirolette - Saint Amour 2020

4.1/5 (11 reviews)

"A solar vintage!

" A beautiful, serious Saint-Amour. Not only the depth of the blackberry, but also a tasty, delicate hint of the fruit and just a hint of old balsamic vinegar make this wine very expressive. Rich and fleshy, but also elegant, thanks to the fine tannins and mineral acidity that also enliven the long, vibrant finish." (James Suckling - 2022)

"The wonderful black raspberry nose draws you inexorably into this deep, concentrated yet lively wine with tons of fine tannins and great mineral freshness on the imposing finish."

3.8/5 (4 reviews)

"Very classic nose of violet and cherry with a touch of blackberry. Quite a serious tannic structure that will need time to fully integrate, but the balance between fruit and tannins is already very convincing. Real dynamism on the long, dry, confident finish. Drink now, but better from 2023". (James Suckling 2022). What elegance.

"The 30-year-old Gamays are planted on ancient alluvial soil. The wine reveals complex, delicate notes of fresh fruit, notably cherry. A subtle personality that continues on the palate through a texture made delicious by the fluidity and suppleness of the tannins. A great success in a refined, alert style ".

"This single parcel wine was partially aged in wood for 16 months. This brought spice to the fragrant fruit and rich tannins, giving the wine plenty of cellaring potential. The finish shows the wine's youth, with licorice notes that soften as it matures. Drink from 2021. (Wine Enthusiast 2020). An irresistible cru parcel with incredible potential!
