2023 Yann Bertrand Saint Amour 'Les Bambins', Beaujolais, France
$46.00
From the single vineyard ‘La Côte de Besset,’ 40 and 70 year-old bush-trained vines. The blue stones from mica schist and sandstone scree in this parcel lend this particular bottle a robust and spicy dimension. Semi-carbonic ferment, seven months in old barrel, .5g SO2 added at bottling. A charming wine, more of the huntsman side of Gamay.
