Sold individually
Drink or Keep
This Saint-Amour comes from a small parcel of 58 ares, on a deep, very weathered granite terroir overlooking the village of Saint-Véran in the north of the appellation. A charming, very elegant red on the nose, a wine that's easy-drinking, sensual, with lots of personality, delicate, with a beautiful harmony between fruit and tannins. Lots of pleasure ahead!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Winegrowers in Juliénas since the early 17th century, the Perrachon family bought Ch. de la Bottière in 1877, then Dom. des Perelles in Romanèche-Thorins (windmill). When Laurent Perrachon set up in 1989, he acquired Dom. des Mouilles, then parcels in Morgon, Fleurie and Saint-Amour: a total of 31 ha, with vines in six crus. With Maxime and Adrien, the new generation joined the domaine in 2016.
