It's in the North of the Beaujolais vineyard that the Saint-Amour vines spread. Closely related to the Bourgogne wines, the Gamay in the Saint-Amour controlled designation vineyard offers light but solid wines.
In their first years, they offer a nose with fruity peaches and apricots notes. This wine is soft, fruity and floral. When macerated longer, it has a good ageing potential of about five years. The nose will then have evolved towards spices and it will be more solid in the mouth.
