Nice, fruity Bojo. Not too stemmy, just delicious, and complex enough to be "serious."

Bright cherry, sour cherry, acid, and some funky earthen herbs. Robitussinal. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Entry level Beaujolais, except there is nothing entry level about how it tastes. Rich, yet tart cherries and dusty earth. High acid, but not cutting. Pretty, yet forceful. Simple, but not dumbed down.

Very very good for a non-place name Beaujolais. Smells pretty (a tiny whiff of so2 on the schnoz that blows off quickly).

Chermette’s Cuvée Traditionelle is delicious today, but also has the potential to age. Concentrated red fruit, fresh flowers and spice notes emerge from a Beaujolais villages that delivers Cru-level quality at a great price. (JR)

A traditional Beaujolais combining fruit, minerality, and organic earthiness.
