Georges Duboeuf Saint-Amour Cru Beaujolais

A wine that sings the song of Love: Georges Duboeuf's Saint-Amour. This Beaujolais Cru has a luminous ruby color and a bouquet of fresh red raspberries, peaches, cherries and flowers. Luscious and round, Saint-Amour is made from 100 percent Gamay grapes. It is best served lightly chilled and pairs with a range of foods from charcuterie to sweet and savory berry dishes to chocolate.

Saint-Amour is a small village in the northernmost region of Beaujolais just south of the Mâcon. The provenance of the wine's name and the village can be traced back to Roman times. Amor, a soldier stationed under the illustrious Theban Legion, was persecuted for his Christian faith. He was later canonized, and his remains are enshrined in Burgundy. The Feast of Saint-Amour is held on August 9. According to Duboeuf, Amor was also the name of a fabled Latin lover.

Today, the legend of Saint-Amour is embodied in a beautiful Beaujolais cru that will give true pleasure to lovers of wine and romance. And, at $15.99 a bottle, it is a price to fall in love with as well!
