1927 It was on this date that the winegrowers of Fleurie got together to sell their first Beaujolais grapes. Since then, successive families have pursued their commitment to the Cave de Fleurie: the elders have built and developed the image of our winery, with strong, important personalities who have left their mark and helped the whole Beaujolais region to progress. Marguerite Chabert, President from 1946 to 1984, was one of them.

Tasting
A sparkling garnet-red color with violet highlights characterizes this Saint-Amour. The warm nose opens with intense notes of black fruits such as blackberry and blueberry, followed by hints of licorice. The long, delicate palate reveals crisp, greedy tannins.
Food pairings
It's the perfect accompaniment to a sausage to share.
