"A real treat!"
The highest point in the Saint-Amour appellation, the Côte de Besset reaches an elevation of 380 meters, lending the wine aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries. With a fruity, supple, and elegant palate, it pairs well with pork cheek stew in red wine or barbecue-grilled pork tenderloins.

About the estate:
Located on the border between Burgundy and Beaujolais, this château takes its name from Sieur Bonnet, a councilman of the city of Mâcon, who had a manor house built there in 1630, where Lamartine later stayed. Acquired by the Perrachon family in 1973, the estate comprises 22 hectares of vineyards. Pierre-Yves Perrachon, who has led the estate since 1988, was joined in 2013 by his daughter Charlotte, an enologist. He has also partnered with a winemaker from the Mâconnais region to complement his vineyard operations with a wine merchant business, Bourgogne Sélect.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/18/2024
Fresh and crisp, this Saint-Amour makes an immediate impression with the disarming frankness of its aromas and its fresh, sparkling fruit. Its richness and generosity are reflected in a clear, silky texture paired with fine, supple tannins, enlivened by a touch of liveliness, which glide smoothly into the light finish with medium length. Very easy to drink and ready to enjoy now, this youthful Gamay will pair beautifully—after decanting—with Lyon-style andouillette sausages and steamed potatoes, or with a petit salé served with Puy lentils. Rating = 3.8.
