Les Champs Grilles Saint-Amour Gamay

Haven’t had much (any?) Saint Amour before so not sure how it typically compares to other Cru Beaujolais. But this one at least is redolent with violets, tangy raspberry, cherries, blackberries, dried herbs and earth, with maybe a slight charred quality on the finish although that may just be the power of suggestion from the name of the lieu dit. Satin smooth, Burgundian texture

Just as dope as I remember but this time around it was accompanied by a beefy smoky note

I love this. Reminded me of Cabernet franc when I first opened it and after it got a little air it was dynamite. Spicy and fruity and fresh all at the same time

Closed up right now. Will review again tomorrow. Wish I could return and try another bottle.

Beaujolais makes me happy! Deep, velvety texture with dark raspberry and focused spice.

No oak all old vines

Strong notes of cracked peppercorns

Great for the value

Nice, smooth Beaujolais (Gamay) at Bin 26 on Beacon Hill, Boston
