Chateau Rontets - Saint Amour Beaujolais

A beautifully, mineral Beaujolais with raspberry gummy notes. Elegant and from the northernmost cru of Beaujolais.

Fabio Montrassi and Claire Gazeau have been making stunning single parcel Pouilly-Fuissé and an impressive Saint-Amour from their revitalized 6.5 hectare family estate since the early 2000's. The couple met as architects in Milan and returned to Claire's native Pouilly-Fuissé to take over the dilapidated family estate in 1995. The estate and vineyard had been in Claire's family since the 1850's and she had spent childhood summers working on the farm and vineyard so she was no stranger to the land or work needed. Upon returning, their first priority was revitalizing the soils and vineyard and they immediately began implementing organic farming.
