TASTING
The wine reveals a brilliant carmine ruby color, intense but not very deep, with aromas of reverchon cherry, raspberry and strawberry. The palate is pure, lively, intense and complex, dominated by red berries, gingerbread and white pepper. A strange but interesting contradiction, this terroir delivers an expression of Gamay that approaches that of Pinot Noir.
Information
The Beaujolais wine-growing hillsides are located in the extreme south of Burgundy, between Mâcon and Villefranche-sur-Saône, on the right bank of the Saône. The Saint-Amour AOP covers a small area of 330 ha, bordering the Burgundy Cru Saint Véran, where the Jurassic soils of Burgundy meet the volcanic soils of Beaujolais. Climat 'Côte de Besset' covers the first high hill in Beaujolais, and our 1 ha parcel faces east on very stony granite scree soils. The soil is composed of very light, friable lava, which favors good drainage, and hard, compact beige schist. This combination creates a moderately deep terroir of sandy loam rather than clay, ideal for the Gamay grape, which finds good rooting possibilities here, on soils that are nevertheless poor enough to favor measured, high-quality production. The Domaine Joseph Burrier vineyards have been farmed organically since 2019 and certified by Ecocert since 2021.
