Red dry
One of the most elegant and delicate expressions of the Beaujolais Cru style, crafted from old ‘Gamay’ vines growing on the granite, sandy, and limestone slopes of Saint-Amour. The 2023 vintage stands out for its exceptional aromatic purity, vibrant fruit, and floral finesse—hallmarks of this most romantic of the Beaujolais Crus.
In the glass, the wine opens with notes of ripe raspberries, cherries, strawberries, and redcurrants, subtly complemented by violets, rose petals, and a hint of gentle spice. The aroma is bright, inviting, and refined—exactly what one expects from top Saint-Amour wines.
On the palate, Saint-Amour 2023 is silky, supple, and beautifully balanced, with harmoniously integrated acidity and soft tannins. The flavor profile highlights juicy red berries, delicate floral tones, and a touch of minerality, adding lift and elegance. The finish is dry, clean, medium in length, and pleasantly fresh with lingering fruit.
Domaine de la Pirolette honors the traditional Saint-Amour style: part of the grapes are fermented with whole clusters, combined with carbonic maceration, which enhances the wine’s floral and playfully fruity character. Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve maximum freshness, lightness, and the natural purity of ‘Gamay’.
Serve at 12–14 °C with duck breast with cherry sauce, lightly fried salmon with herbs, or soft goat cheese with raspberry chutney.
In the heart of Saint-Amour, little village with two Michelins Stars restaurants, Domaine de la Pirolette is perched at the top of a hill, facing the church. Full of character, the estate which dates back to 1600 inherited the name of a pretty white flower: the Pirole. It is one of the largest estates in Saint Amour, very well located on the appellation’s best terroirs.The 15 hectares of vines are grouped around the property, enjoying the very varied soils, particularly pebbly soils with sandstone and blue stones, clay and deep altered pink granite, facing south and south-east. The most emblematic plots are vinified separately, respecting the different areas: “Le Carjot”, “La Poulette”, “La Pirolette”.
