Saint Amour, today…
Will it really require the return of a few Mercedes 4×4 to resurrect one of the greatest wines of Beaujolais?

You should contact Domaine de Pirolet in St. Amour. A new estate producing very fine wines, nominated last year as one of the best of the Jeunes Vignerons of Burgundy.
Hi Jerome
I tasted the wine with Gregory this week – I’m not sure if he’s really classed as a jeune vigneron, but it is indeed a beautiful wine 🙂
I think it is his wife Virginie Fournier who qualifies as a “jeune vigneron” (less than 40 years old) !
Well, at least there’s a rule for that then, unlike old vines 🙂
Hmm, I’m wondering about Ayscough’s “exclusive” list of good Saint-Amour producers as I’m now drinking a St-Amour from Michel Guignier, a “natural” wine producer in good standing that Ayscough’s list excludes. Ideology and lack of knowledge are not a good combination, as we can see both in wine and politics.
