Description
Saint Amour Clos du Chapitre 2018 Domaine Chardigny
Variety: 100% Gamay
Certified organic
Intense ruby red color.
The nose has lush, clean and quality aromas. Fruit bursts with plum, cherry and black cherry, followed by notes of wild berries. The flowers, with red and violet roses, the undergrowth, with its various facets, anticipate spices. Overall the aromas are clean, of a different nature and well defined.
On the palate it is well structured and at the same time voluminous and creamy. It achieves balance and harmony between the parts with extreme ease. Excellent texture of tannins, expressed with verticality and adequate freshness. It surprises for its ability to adapt and tantalize the palate. It pleasantly elongates between aromas of berries, tobacco and spices.
The Domaine Chardigny offers us this excellent interpretation of Gamay. French wine already excellent, but actually able to improve up to ten years.

The grapes are grown in the municipality of Saint Amour Bellevue, geographically located between the Beaujolais and Burgundy appellations. The vineyard is in the area with special mention Clos du Chapitre, where it extends on a hill with a 360 degree view over the plain of the Sâone.
Soil: the soil is made up of ancient stony deposits of piedmont origin.
After the harvest, carried out manually, it carries out a cold pre-fermentation, and then the classic fermentation in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature. A good part of the clusters are inserted without pressing.
