| Saint-Amour |
| situation |
This delightfully named cru is the northernmost outpost of Beaujolais, in the "Saône-et-Loire" region.
The SAINT AMOUR TRENEL comes from the "Domaine des Champs-Grillés". |
| TASTING |
A profound ruby in hue, this Saint Amour opens up in the glass to reveal pleasing notes of ripe red fruit. (redcurrant, cherry). The first impression is frank, supporting by tannins which still are astringent but which in a few months will go in softening .
This SAINT AMOUR will be ready to drink after 5 or 6 months after the setting out of the bottle, but can easily wait 2 to 4 years. |
| HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE |
| Served at the right temperature 14-15°C (57-59°F) it goes beautifully with poultry, game birds and red meat. |
