2022 Domaine de la Pirolette Saint-Amour

The nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh red berries, particularly strawberry and cherry, intertwined with subtle notes of blueberry. This fruit-forward bouquet is layered with floral hints of violet, adding elegance, alongside subtle touches of licorice and a whisper of white pepper for spice.

On the palate, the 2022 is juicy and generous, with a rounded, full-bodied profile that carries the red and dark fruit flavors through each sip. The wine is well-balanced, with a seamless blend of fresh acidity and soft tannins, giving it structure and lift. A fine mineral undertone and a hint of spice linger on the finish, enhancing its complexity and leaving a memorable impression.

Domaine de la Pirolette, established in the 1600s, is a historic winery in the heart of Saint-Amour, a village in the Beaujolais region of France. The estate derives its name from the "Pirole," a delicate white flower native to the area.

2013, the Barbet family, led by Grégory and Virginie Barbet, acquired the estate. Recognizing the property's potential, they embarked on extensive renovations of the vineyards and the winery facilities. Their dedication to viticulture and winemaking earned the estate the affectionate nickname "the passionate bunch” from their neighbors.
