Domaine Chermette Beaujolais Supper Offer
From his base in southern Beaujolais, Pierre Chermette has become one of the beacons of Beaujolais quality. DAVID SCHILDKNECHT, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
Few Beaujolais growers are in a position to pronounce on the region’s different terroirs with the authority of the affable Pierre Chermette. ANDREW JEFFORD, The New France
Chermette is unquestionably one of the region's super stars but what sets him up as one of the small handful of true greats is his ability to capture, and bottle, purity of fruit and terroir.
While season obviously plays a key role in his wines, as do the extraordinary
sites he works with, each year he seems to be able to craft wines with gorgeous
texture and soaring aromatics. Loaded with detail and personality his offerings
are always some of the most attractive and personable wines from any given
vintage.
Pierre crafts wines that are very traditionally leaning,
utilising older neutral casks, access to great sites and old vines. They are
always wonderfully transparent of their respective terroirs yet never fail to
deliver with a sumptuous and pure fruit profile that is not just captivating but
often belies there ability to age so gracefully. That's if you can even hang on
to them long enough.
The combination of the outstanding 2021 vintage
and Pierre's formidable talents in the winery and in the vineyards has produced
a beautiful set of wines and whether you are cracking them this weekend or in
years to come you will not be dissapointed.
