This charmingly-named cru is the most northerly of the Beaujolais Crus, since its vineyards are located almost exclusively in the Saône et Loire region, close to the Mâconnais. A Roman legionnaire by the name of Amor is said to have bequeathed his name to the village of Saint-Amour. In 286, he escaped the massacre of many of his comrades who, like him, had refused to march against the Christians. Taking refuge in Gaul, the soldier became a missionary. Today, a statuette near the church pays tribute to him. Rather than focusing on a single estate, we have chosen to combine a selection from several winegrowers, choosing from their cellars the blend most representative of the appellation. In a nod to "Saint-Amour", and more particularly to the name "Amour", we've made it "Bewitching" for your palate.
