2022 MOMMESSIN SAINT AMOUR GRANDES MISES

This most Northern Cru bears a name which is gentle to the ear and to the heart. It is the wine of poets and lovers. If it did not exist, life would be a little less charming. The village of Saint Amour gives its name to this wine. Before that, a long time ago during Gallo-Roman times, a centurion named Amor suffered martyrdom. In all evidence, the ways of lovers, with their pleasures and sorrows, are rarely easy. Today, the wine of Saint Amour shows two faces, according to the soil composition and indeed the vinification technique.

This great wine from the Beaujolais area shows aromas of black fruit (cherry) and iris to the nose. On the palate, it is spicy, with complex aromas, an ample structure, silky tannins and a fine, long finish.
