Mission Codename Angel of love

Cru Beaujolais for 25 bucks!

From century-old vines with deep roots that crack these granite hillsides due south of Burgundy, comes a Saint-Amour that will make you a believer.

No reviews whatsoever, only one inferior vintage was loved by Vinous who praised “dark berries, peppery spices and potpourri on the nose; suave mineral and cola nuances… juicy, concentrated and focused on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry, cherry, and lavender pastille flavors that become more energetic with air” concluding that it, just like this vintage “shows very good power and mineral lift on the finish, which hangs on with impressive, floral-tinged persistence.”

These get the best of both worlds. Those telltale Beaujolais Gamay semi-carbonic poppy fruits that lead to berries and cherries slapping you in the face, along with the complexity and finesse you find in these wines that get the Côte-d’Or barrel aging pampering, massaging the tannins, and elevating the floral and mineral accents all the way to the surface to enhance the experience.

Just as Forbes said, we’re in the Perfect Burgundy Village For Wine Lovers: “The romantic Saint-Amour drop is according to the Beaujolais viticole association: A refined and balanced wine that retains all the fruitiness of the Gamay grape and gleams with a ruby robe backed up with kirsch, spice and mignonette aromas and flavors. Some say it is closer to Pinot Noir in taste, with its light, fruit-driven style. In January, a Saint-Amour cru was voted the best Gamay in the world from a field of 800 wines being judged in Lyon.”

Are you ready to fall in love with the deliciousness? The price? The prestige? The whole package!

Highly limited.
