2023 Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes

Pierre-Marie Chermette has built a reputation for making honest, expressive Beaujolais, and Les Griottes is his easygoing young-vine Gamay. Sourced from 30- to 40-year-old vines on dark granite soils in Saint-Vérand, it’s made with the same traditional methods he’s stuck with for decades - semi-carbonic fermentation, wild yeasts, and aging in a mix of tank and old oak.

Compared to his more structured Cru wines, this one spends less time on skins, keeping it bright, fresh, and ready to drink. It’s all about vibrant fruit and effortless charm - the kind of wine you don’t have to think too hard about, just enjoy.

Perfect for a casual dinner or a long afternoon with friends, this is Beaujolais at its most fun and easygoing.
