Les Bambins Saint Amour Gamay 2020

Lovely, classy Beaujolais village level gamay, 2020 vintage enjoying early in 2024.

Goes well with cheese and crackers and staying indoors on cold winter nights.

Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Saint-Amour Gamay 2016

Very candied, floral and crunchy. Best enjoyed soonish I think and lacked a little bit of depth but a nice bottle and easy drinking — 2 years ago

Domaine de La Pirolette

Saint-Amour Gamay 2018

Delectable Wine
9.0

Shimmering ruby. Expressive black raspberry, cherry cola and violet scents pick up mineral and spice nuances with air. Nicely concentrated yet lively on the palate, offering juicy bitter cherry, dark berry and exotic spice flavors that turn sweeter on the back half. Discreet tannins shape the floral-tinged finish, which hangs on with very good persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2021)

Marc Delienne

Arpay À la Folie Saint-Amour Gamay 2017

Of the 2020 releases from Marc Delienne (which has been quite the trip to work through), this was the cheapest, cleanest, and my favourite. Needs a little air to unfurl aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, and tomato leaves. Bright and juicy, with a rich texture to boot. Nice underlying minerality and spice. Finished in one seating, so a one in the binary scale. — 2 years ago

Clos des Billards Saint-Amour Gamay 2019

American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 3 years ago

Château des Bachelards

Comtesse de Vazeilles Saint amour Gamay 2017

Yes, these guys do Beaujolais in a Bordeaux bottle.

Great nose features ripe cherry and berries, along with a rich, humus-like earthy note and scents of old barrels. Fruity but fairly structured in the mouth. Significant tannin frames the sultry, oozy fruit. Initially, it’s a little austere in the finish (a la the region whose bottle shape is used), but more fruit comes through as it gets air. Unique and very good.
