All growers that are part of the Terroirs Originels family are evidence to the belief that wines reflect the personality of their grower and vice versa. Patrick Tranchand is no exception. A very quiet and unpretentious man when you first meet him, you will soon discover a quiet passion paired with uncompromising integrity. His wines, such as the Saint-Amour Coeur de Gamay is very similar in character. It starts elegant and slow to eventually win you over with a wonderful combination of spice, freshness, and complexity.
The Tranchand family farmed their land since 1960 with Patrick taking over in 1994. He constantly researched and refined in order to bring out the purest expression of his terroir.
A fresh and savoury interpretation of the Gamay grape. A nice purple colour with red cherry highlights. The aroma is reminiscent of wild berries and spices. Very balanced on the palate with ripe berry flavours and good acidity.
A good choice with appetizers, foie gras, grilled poultry, pork, and fish. Also matches well with ,ild Indian dishes.
