"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)
