AOC Saint Amour Domaine Vessigaud 2016
Saint-Amour Beaujolais Cru, next to Burgundy, produces this 100% Gamay wine
Gamay is a purple-colorer grape most notably grown in Beaujolais and in the Loire valley around Tours. Velvety and smooth, a seductive nectar! It is a flexible and powerful wine, which allows it to be enjoyed immediately, yet can be left for several years to age.
- Nice, red-ruby robe with garnet tints. A charming nose, very reminiscent of Pinot, with spices and cherry notes, aromas of red fruits and cassis. On the palate, the wine is very fruity and spicy, with long and soft tannins
