Domaine Benon Saint-Amour 2024 £18.50
Domaine Benon Saint-Amour 2024 is a vibrant red wine from France’s Beaujolais, made for drinkers who love fruit-led, refreshing flavours. Crafted in the Saint-Amour appellation using Gamay, it offers an inviting sense of lift from the very first pour. Expect a juicy, redcurrant-tinged character with a smooth, easygoing feel that suits both relaxed evenings and lively get-togethers.
With its bright profile and beautifully balanced finish, this red wine is ideal for pairing with everything from roast chicken and light pasta dishes to charcuterie and soft cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, around 12–13°C, to bring out the freshness and make the most of the 2024 vintage. If you’re building a Beaujolais selection, this bottling is a confident choice—delightful on its own and a superb match for seasonal menus, especially during warmer months.

France
Few would argue that France is the country that long ago set the standards by which wine is judged. There are of course exceptions; Germany's Rieslings, Spain's Sherry and Portugal's Port are examples of non-French wines that are universally accepted as models to be admired and emulated. But no other country in the world can boast anything like France's influence over the wine world's now well-established benchmarks. The wine styles produced in Champagne, Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and the Rhone have become targets that countless winegrowers around the world aim at, in the first instance by planting the same grape varieties. If you still have a bit of exploring to do before you can say you know well the world of wine, there can be no better place to start (or finish!) than France.
Beaujolais
Located north of Lyon in eastern France, Beaujolais overlaps Burgundy in the north and Rhone in the south. The picturesque Beaujolais vineyards run along the Saône River, where winemakers have crafted deliciously supple and fruity wines since the days of Ancient Rome.
Over mainly granite terrain, the Beaujolais Crus form a meandering path. From south to north, Brouilly is followed by Côte de Brouilly, Régnié, Morgon, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent, Chenas, Juliénas and Saint-Amour.
The region has ideal growing conditions. It receives lots of sunshine and has granite-based soils that lend excellent structure to the wines. The Gamay grape is used to make all Beaujolais wines with the exception of white Beaujolais, or Beaujolais blanc, which is made of Chardonnay grapes.
Most of the harvesting is made manually in the Beaujolais region. Handpicking means entire bunches can be vatted to allow a certain kind of maceration. This winemaking is specific to the Beaujolais region
