Jean Loron Domaine des Billards, Saint-Amour 2016, Beaujolais, France
Tasting Note: A fruit-filled, Saint Amour Cru Beaujolais that is like an aged, fine sangria that has been heavily extracted.
Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity, aromatic nose of raspberry, peach, cherry and rose petal.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied Saint-Amour Beaujolais is medium-plus in acidity and ripe, medium-plus tannin.
The wine shows black-fruit extraction, mid-palate complexity while playing also on the back palate.
