Domaine du Vissoux / Pierre-Marie Chermette
Origine Vieilles Vignes Beaujolais
Best Beaujolais Nouveau we have had. Tangy, intense red fruit with distinctive mineral accents. Absolutely killer all around. Will buy more asap.

Jan 18th, 2022Loads of character. Nose is animal, on top of some really pure, tangy fruit, and significant granite stoniness. Fruity on entry, but quickly turns intensely stony on the surprisingly long finish. Decent acids. Great value.

Jun 11th, 2020This delicious Beaujolais-Nouveau (from vines that are up to 85 years old) brims with intense dark berry, floral and spice notes. Mineral overtones add urgency and back end cut to round things out in style. $18.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2019)

Dec 9th, 2019Transparent, true-to-type, lots of rhubarb and sour fruit. Medium-weight. Neither natty and weird nor overhandled. Chermette is definitely A-list in my book.

Nov 3rd, 2019Delicious, but needs time in the bottle for the fruit to calm down.
