Saint-Amor Full-Bodied Red Wine | Stephane Avion Vintage Selection | Year

Discover the rich complexity of Stephane Aviron’s Saint-Amour Gamay 2019, a bold expression of Beaujolais craftsmanship from Burgundy’s northernmost Cru. Hailing from the limestone-and-clay-rich soils of Saint-Amour—a terroir that bridges Beaujolais finesse with Burgundy’s robust character—this wine offers a compelling contrast to neighboring Fleurie’s elegance.

Why It Stands Out:
Crafted from Gamay grapes cultivated in soils where granite meets clay-limestone deposits, this wine embodies a structured yet approachable profile. Expect deep ruby hues and a robust bouquet of dark cherry, wild berries, and subtle spice notes. While its firm tannins and 13% alcohol content reflect Saint-Amour’s signature weightiness, it retains a surprising softness through ripe red fruit flavors that linger on the palate.

Perfect For:
Wine enthusiasts seeking a bold Beaujolais that pairs effortlessly with hearty dishes like braised meats or earthy mushroom risotto. Its balanced acidity makes it versatile for both casual sipping and gourmet pairings.

A Terroir Story:
Situated near Burgundy’s Chardonnay heartlands, Saint-Amour’s unique geology imparts a heavier-bodied style compared to lighter Cru neighbors. Stephane Aviron’s meticulous winemaking preserves this terroir’s authenticity, creating a wine that’s as much a reflection of its origins as it is a celebration of Gamay’s versatility.

Serve & Savor:
Decant for 30 minutes to unlock its full potential. Whether enjoyed at a cellar dinner or paired with charcuterie boards, this 2019 vintage delivers distinctive Cru Beaujolais character that distinguishes it from lighter styles in the region.

Stephane Aviron Saint-Amour Gamay 2019—where Burgundy’s depth meets Beaujolais’ charm, bottled for connoisseurs who appreciate wines with both power and grace.
