And the sight of the Windmill as you drive through the delightful village of Moulin-\u00e0-Vent and on down through the region to the winery. Actually the Tour de France was in the area at the time &#8211; and the hotel I was staying in was full of support members and film crew from around the world, so a memorable visit.<br \/>\nGeorges Duboeuf wines have an incredible worldwide recognition, with a brand guarantee, confidence and pleasure of all lovers of easy-to-drink wines on all occasions. Gamay grown in Saint-Amour generally provides a lighter and less concentrated expression of Beaujolais Cru wine.  It is the most northerly of the 10 Beaujolais Cru\u2019s, and its full name is Saint-Amour-Bellevue. It is the only cru located entirely within the department of Sa\u00f4ne et Loire. Due to its charming name, Saint-Amour is obviously a popular Valentine&#8217;s Day wine around the globe, and almost a quarter of the total production is shared on February 14.<br \/>\nThe grapes were hand harvested, and a number of bunches underwent semi-carbonic maceration. During vinification a portion underwent malolactic fermentation, with the whole process taking place in temperature-controlled stainless steel. \n \u2022 In your glass you are greeted by a brilliant ruby colour with a shining hue. This Saint-Amour wine is articulate and charming with dominant cherries, kirsch, floral and dried herb aromas. The light-medium weighted palate is a fruit-driven style with a soft fleshy textural focus on cherries, wild berries and a hint of sweet peach. Nicely balanced with those bright red fruits with mellow tannins and a smooth finish. \nThis 2017 Georges Duboeuf \u2018Saint-Amour\u2019 Beaujolais has 13% Alc.\/vol. &#8211; made in a classic dry style. Chill ever-so slightly and serve in a generous wine glass at 14\u00b0- 16\u00b0C. \n <em>An appealing and an ever so charming Saint-Amour Beaujolais red wine. <\/em>\n<p> <\/p>\n\nCELLARING POTENTIAL: *(Review 7\/03\/21) <br \/>\nDrinking perfectly well this season; plus &#8211; will age nicely for another 2 &#8211; 3 years.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:<br \/>\nPerfect wine pairing with bbq&#8217;d lamb cutlets, pulled-pork, Cajun chicken breast, smoked ham, mushroom pasta dishes, aubergine tortellini and aged mild cheeses- <em>enjoy <\/em>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Georges-Duboeuf-Image-01.jpg\" alt=\"Georges-Duboeuf-Image-01\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"450\" width=\"1000\" title=\"Georges-Duboeuf-Image-01\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Georges-Duboeuf-Saint-Amour-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PDF-Icon-02.png\" alt=\"PDF-Icon-02\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"76\" width=\"300\" title=\"PDF-Icon-02\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<h3>more wine reviews<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/recent-wine-articles\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4055,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4060","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4060"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4686,"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4060\/revisions\/4686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grape-to-glass.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
