Famille Dutraive "Clos du Chapitre" Saint Amour 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(9/22/2018) "Bursting with scents of cherries, plums and dried flowers, the 2017 Saint-Amour Clos du Chapitre is medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a sweet core of fruit, melting tannins and a taut, stony finish. This is a new bottling for the Famille Dutraive label and comes warmly recommended."

Domaine Chardigny "Clos du Chapitre" Saint Amour 2017
Winemaker's Notes
"This vineyard brings more subtle aromas than La Folie, but the wine is still quite expressive with its notes of red berries, rhubarb, sweet red rose, sweet greens and crushed rock. Solid, but fine tannins are backed by a fresh, gentle acidity that hits on all sides, revealing a nice long finish. There is no lack of tastiness in the Clos du Chapitre, and it seems to carry a bit more complexity than the pleasure-filled La Folie."

Domaine des Vieilles Caves Saint Amour 2014
Winemaker's Notes
"Today the domaine is ably run by Jacky's wife Evelyn and their son, Jerome. The Domaine Les Fines Graves continues to produce excellent wines from the Beaujolais-Villages, Chenas and St. Amour appellations. Jerome also has his own enterprise and makes a sumptuous Saint Amour from his Domaine des Vieilles Caves. A mere 250 cases a year are made from this plot of 75 to 100 year-old vines formerly owned by Jerome's grandfather. Violet, plums, earth and fresh cherries. Highly mineral and elegant length."
