Billards (Barbet), Saint-Amour Reserve, 2009
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 with gentle extraction. This is the Reserve bottling from 2009, a warm and generous vintage, now mature and showing the savory complexity that good cru Beaujolais earns with age.
