Domaine du Vissoux (Pierre-Marie Chermette) Description

A masterful 5th generation grower, Pierre has maintained the strict traditions of his ancestors and of the region, with more tenacity than most. Despite fashions changing, Pierre has, for his entire life, adhered only to the classic methods handed down from his family. This means farming in as sustainable a manner as possible, only using indigenous yeasts for every wine, long fermentations and making whole-cluster (semi-carbonic) wines in the old foudres built by his great-grandfather. Pierre Chermette's yields are so low and the grapes so naturally ripe that he does not chaptalise. The wines are bottled with little or no filtration and the addition of no sulfur or very little depending on the cuvée.

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

A strong effort, the 2021 Beaujolais Origine Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of sweet berries, cherries and petals, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and fleshy palate, with a lively spine of acidity and a saline finish. After a series of sweeter, richer vintages, it represents a return to a more classically proportioned style.
