Pierre-Marie Chermette 'Les Griottes' Beaujolais 2024
- ABOUT THE WINE: This mouthwatering crowd-pleaser is named after a grove of cherry trees that flank the vineyard. The fruit comes from 40-year-old Gamay vines, grown in dark granite soils around the Chermette homestead in Saint-VĂ©rand, Southern Beaujolais. In contrast to their age-worthy Crus from Moulin-Ă -Vent and Fleurie et al., Chermette aims to produce something light-to-medium-bodied, bright and cherry-fruited with reach-for-another-glass charm. The winemaking has remained unchanged for decades. Traditional whole-bunch, semi-carbonic fermentation in concrete tanks followed by maturation in tank and old oak casks are still the order of the day. Twenty-twenty four was a cooler year in Beaujolais, gifting, at this level, a thirst-quenching and moreish Gamay with loads of crunch, blueberry and strawberry charm and cherrystone tang. As always, it is a delicious, vibrant wine and fabulous value. Bibendum

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Chermette is a family-run Beaujolais domaine currently run by Pierre-Marie Chermette, who took over from his father in 1982. It farms 30 hectares of Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages vines, plus 20 hectares of Cru vines across Brouilly, Fleurie, Moulin-Ă -Vent and Saint-Amour. Farming is sustainable and eschews synthetic products, the soils are ploughed, natural grass cover is promoted, and yields are tightly controlled. Bibendum
