Domaine de L'Etournet - Saint Amour 2017
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"Located halfway up the slope of the Saint-Amour vineyard on sandstone gravel soil, the estate clearly has everything it takes to produce a top-tier Beaujolais wine. Whole-cluster vinification remarkably highlights the Gamay’s ability to offer beautiful aromatic intensity (ripe red fruits, floral and spicy notes). On the palate, it combines concentration, richness, and elegance. A complete and particularly seductive wine.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)
