Billards (Barbet), Saint-Amour, 2010
Saint-Amour might have the most romantic name in Beaujolais, and Domaine des Billards makes one of its most serious versions. The five-hectare estate sits on the cru's southeast mid-slope, on sandstone, granite and clay, farmed traditionally without herbicides; the Gamay is vinified semi-carbonic for gentle, refined tannins. This is the 2010, a classic, well-balanced vintage, now mature and showing the savory depth cru Beaujolais develops with time.
