Domaine Matray Saint-Amour 2016

A Cru Beaujolais from Alpine Wines

At almost £17, this is towards the upper end of prices for Beaujolais. It has all the characteristics you would expect of a Beaujolais but is more detailed and nuanced.

If you like Beaujolais and want to know what a superior version offers, this will show you.

Domaine Matray Saint-Amour 2016 (£16.60, Alpine Wines) juicy red, black and sour cherry fruit with florality and spices. Fresh, substantial, supple and complex.

Good.

Match with antipasti or plain roast chicken.
