Domaine des Billards Saint-Amour 2023 (750ml)

The northernmost of the Beaujolais crus, Saint-Amour gives Gamay a lighter, more floral turn than its neighbors, and this 2023 from Domaine des Billards works in that register: a red built for charm rather than muscle. Cru Beaujolais sits a step above the everyday bottlings of the region, made from Gamay grown on the granite slopes that give these wines their perfume and their bright, juicy lift. Serve it with a slight chill and it reads as the kind of red that slips easily through a meal.
