Description

Pierre-Marie Chermette has built a reputation for making honest, expressive Beaujolais, and Les Griottes is his easygoing young-vine Gamay. Sourced from 30- to 40-year-old vines on dark granite soils in Saint-Vérand, it’s made with the same traditional methods he’s stuck with for decades - semi-carbonic fermentation, wild yeasts, and aging in a mix of tank and old oak.

Compared to his more structured Cru wines, this one spends less time on skins, keeping it bright, fresh, and ready to drink. It’s all about vibrant fruit and effortless charm - the kind of wine you don’t have to think too hard about, just enjoy.

Perfect for a casual dinner or a long afternoon with friends, this is Beaujolais at its most fun and easygoing.

    Smooth French drinking

    I have purchased this wine several times in recent years. It is my "go to" drop when I don't want a big or heavy wine with meals. It is particularly suited to warmer weather days and goes well with most dishes as it does not dominate the palate. A good and reliable wine for me that sets a benchmark for mid-level beaujolais drinking.

Importer's Notes:

Chermette’s entry-level Beaujolais is drawn from 30- to 40-year-old vines grown on dark granite soils around the homestead in Saint-Vérand (in southern Beaujolais). The winemaking has remained unchanged for decades, with traditional whole-bunch, semi-carbonic fermentation in concrete tanks and then maturation in both tank and old oak casks still the order of the day.

As opposed to his age-worthy Crus from Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie et al, Chermette’s aim here is to produce something light-to medium-bodied, bright and cherry-fruited with reach-for-another-glass charm. The nose is so exuberant you could be tasting out of barrel, flush with lip-smacking wild-plum fruit flecked by violet florals. The palate tells the same delicious story through waves of vibrant and tangy berries and cherrystone fruit. Love at first sip! There is a strong argument to say this is the best Griottes we have shipped. As always, it is a delicious, moreish wine and fabulous value.
