Nick Dobson Wines Saint-Amour

Saint Amour
At the northern limit of the Beaujolais lies the romantically-named Cru of Saint-Amour, where granitic soils of the Beaujolais, favoured by the Gamay, give way to limestone in the Mâconnais to the north, better for Chardonnay. At this boundary, many of the vignerons own land in both the Beaujolais and the Mâconnais districts and make and sell wines from both regions; Saint-Amour in fact borders the Saint-Véran appellation in the Mâconnais. After Chénas, Saint-Amour is the second smallest Cru. The name is derived from Saint Amateur, a Roman soldier who converted to Christianity and founded a monastery overlooking the river Sâone. Today, much is made of the name, and the wines are heavily promoted in connection with Saint Valentines day. Saint-Amour wines can sometimes be a little reserved when young, needing some time to open up and show their character. After a year or so however, they become supple and fruity, with flavours of apricot, cherries, sometimes spicy, and with great intensity of colour. Serve at about 13° and enjoy them with red meat, poultry, or game.

The Matray Saint Amour is a lovely wine; a beautiful ruby red, intense fruity aromas, with rich red fruit flavours. It has good structure, and is beautifully smooth and elegant. Warming, and with good length. Drink around 14° with offal, poultries, game birds, and white meats. Or alternatively chill it and drink with pasta dishes or just on its own. Very approachable and drinking nicely now now but will improve with further bottle ageing.
