Saint-Amour "La Poulette"

France
Beaujolais
2023

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 2023 Saint-Amour has an intense violet color and a fine substance that promises much for the palate to come. The nose is carefully drawn and refined, with a great diversity of perfumes running from blackcurrant to plum by way of spice, and it continues to open in the glass. The same is felt on the palate, in a flesh with depth, volume, and substance, the tannins present but already civil. A very fine wine, precise, full, and balanced, it is still very young, well removed from the light reading the cru so often receives. It will age gracefully over the next 10-15 years."
