Cave de Fleurie's Saint Amour comes from the northernmost of the ten Beaujolais crus, the smallest and often considered the most romantically named. It typically shows medium color with good width of flavor, mineral undercurrents, and a gently structured finish — an elegant, food-friendly expression of the appellation.
There's no better cru to pour on a date night — Saint Amour delivers on both its name and its glass.
