Château de la Greffière - Saint-Amour 2020
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“The 30-year-old Gamay vines are planted on ancient alluvial soil. The wine displays complex and delicate notes of fresh fruit, particularly cherry. It has a subtle character that lingers on the palate, with a texture made appealing by the fluidity and suppleness of the tannins. A great success in a refined and lively style. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023) Gem new Gem discover!

About the estate:
In 2013, Xavier Greuzard joined his parents, Isabelle and Vincent, at the helm of Château de la Greffière (50 hectares), which has been in his family since 1924. They were able to expand the vineyard the following year by acquiring the 7-hectare contiguous plot of Château des Bois after its owner retired. The transition to organic farming began in 2020.
