Discover Saint-Amour Domaine des Pierres
Nestled in the historic Beaujolais crus, Saint-Amour Domaine des Pierres is a ruby-hued Gamay that perfectly embodies the character of its granite-rich soils. Crafted by generations of winemakers, this elegant red offers a harmonious balance of fruit, minerality, and subtle oak.
Terroir & Winemaking
The vines are planted on steep, well-drained slopes where the unique combination of pink granite and schist forces deep root systems. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo a short, cool maceration to preserve freshness. Fermentation takes place in traditional cement vats, followed by six months of aging on fine lees to enhance texture.
