✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the legendary 'King of Beaujolais,' Georges Duboeuf, the Chateau de Saint-Amour represents the romantic soul of the northernmost Cru in Beaujolais. Made entirely from the Gamay grape, this wine hails from a region steeped in folklore; legend has it that Saint-Amour was named after a Roman soldier, Amor, who found refuge here and established a monastery. The vineyard's terroir is characterized by a complex mix of granite, clay, silica, and schist, which imparts a distinct mineral elegance to the wine. Duboeuf utilizes traditional semi-carbonic maceration to preserve the vibrant, fresh fruit character of the Gamay, resulting in a wine that bursts with aromas of wild raspberries, red currants, and delicate floral notes of violet and peony.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Les Vins Georges Duboeuf har hjemsted i Romanèche-Thorins i det franske Beaujolais og blev grundlagt i 1964 af Georges Duboeuf, der ofte hyldes som 'Kongen af Beaujolais'. Négociant-huset revolutionerede regionens internationale profil ved at slå et slag for domæneaftapninger, opbygge tætte partnerskaber med lokale vinbønder og gøre det årlige Beaujolais Nouveau-fænomen verdensberømt. Huset ledes i dag af Duboeuf-familien og er fortsat dybt engageret i at formidle Gamay-druens mange terroirfacetter på tværs af de ti Beaujolais Crus – herunder Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon og Juliénas – sideløbende med et nøje udvalgt sortiment fra Rhône-dalen og Pays d'Oc.
