"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)

About the domain :
On the borders of Burgundy and Beaujolais, this château takes its name from Sieur Bonnet, alderman of the town of Mâcon, who built a manor house here in 1630, where Lamartine later stayed. Acquired by the Perrachon family in 1973, the estate now boasts 22 ha of vines. Pierre-Yves Perrachon, head of the estate since 1988, was joined in 2013 by his daughter Charlotte, a nologist. He has also joined forces with a winegrower from the Mâconnais region to complete his operation with a trading structure, Bourgogne Sélect.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 18/11/2024
Fresh and crisp, this Saint-Amour asserts itself from the outset with the disconcerting frankness of its aromas and fresh, sparkling fruit. Gourmandise and generosity are found in a limpid, silky body combined with fine, supple tannins, enhanced by a hint of liveliness, which glide linearly through to the light, moderately persistent finish. Highly digestible and ready to drink, this juvenile Gamay would be a pleasure to pair, after decanting, with andouillettes lyonnaises and steamed pdt, or a petit salé aux lentllles du Puy. Score = 3.8.
