Saint-Amour "La Poulette"

France
Beaujolais
2022

Domaine de la Pirolette makes two single-vineyard wines, each showcasing a different terroir found within Saint-Amour. The "Poulette" comes from pink granite and is vinified entirely in cement eggs. The shape allows the lees to be contantly moving. The "Poulette" has a great attack, with gorgeous, lifted rasperry and black cherry fruit with a mineral back bone. Total production is 200 cases.

"The 2022 Saint-Amour La Poulette has an already evolved ruby color and was raised 16 months in concrete egg. On this climat, and in a notable vintage such as 2022, the nose takes on a rare grace, elegance, and fullness. Rose and white pepper deserve their praise, while the palate offers a silkiness, a velvet texture of absolute magic; the wine is full, gracious, and tender, and carries the taster into spheres of pleasure that are quite splendid. It has a decade and a half of cellaring ahead of it."
