✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine du Paradis is a highly regarded estate-bottled Saint-Amour Cru Beaujolais, brought to international acclaim by the legendary 'King of Beaujolais,' Georges Duboeuf. Crafted from 100% Gamay, this wine hails from the northernmost Cru of Beaujolais, Saint-Amour, which takes its name from a Roman soldier named Amor who converted to Christianity and founded a monastery in the region. The estate's vines thrive on complex soils of granite, clay, and schist, imparting a distinct mineral undertone to the wine. Vinified using traditional semi-carbonic maceration, this expression showcases the signature elegance of Saint-Amour, blending vibrant red berry aromas with delicate floral notes of violet and peony, supported by soft, silky tannins.
