Domaines Chermette (formerly Domaine du Vissoux)
Domaines Chermette (formerly known as Domaine du Vissoux) is run by Martine and Pierre-Marie Chermette, pioneers in the development of integrated viticulture in Beaujolais, and is now accompanied by their son Jean-Étienne, who has been developing his own range under the Jean-Étienne Chermette name since 2018. 

They manage the Domaines Chermette vineyard, which covers 30 hectares, including one hectare of Chardonnay, using alternative viticulture: an intermediary between integrated viticulture and organic farming. Pierre-Marie Chermette's aim is to intervene as little as possible in both vine-growing and winemaking. In this way, the Domaines Chermette terroir can express itself authentically in each of his cuvées. "We want to obtain healthy, fully-ripened grapes in order to make the most natural wine possible", this is the philosophy that prevails at the domaine.
Domaines Chermette wines are matured in a beautiful vaulted cellar with large oak tuns, built by Pierre-Marie Chermette's great-grandfather, carefully maintained and preserved in its original style. The quality of the wines, of exemplary consistency, places the domaine among the leading figures in Beaujolais.

"Back to basics

This somewhat atypical primeur, made from old vines, is the pure expression of Gamay: a vinous cuvée, as close to the grape as possible and always unchaptalized. Dark color, structured, fleshy palate, very ripe red and black berries. This is a top-of-the-range cuvée with character. Complexity and body on the palate make this a real wine that can improve over winter and be drunk well into summer.

"Simply delicious!"

This cuvée comes from the 20 hectares of Gamay planted mainly at Le Vissoux in Saint Vérand on dark-colored plagio-granite soil. Mellow and complex, the nose with notes of violets and tart red berries evolves into a juicy, easy-drinking, full-bodied palate. Dominant aromas of blackberry, cherry, raspberry, good persistence, skinny tannins.

"A Moulin-à-Vent of pleasure

Supple and harmonious, ample and enveloping, melting tannins, sapid finish... this Moulin-à-Vent has it all! Rose petal, orange peel, wild berries and a concert of spices combine to create an expressive, complex bouquet. Enjoy with grilled pork loin with roasted figs, game or a fine mature Saint-Marcellin...

"An emblematic cuvée of the estate.

Origine Vieilles Vignes, the emblematic wine of the estate that has been reviving the Beaujolais of yesteryear since 1986. This cuvée is made in the pure Beaujolais tradition. The lively, intense fruitiness is very close to the grape. Tender and fleshy on the palate, with silky, enveloping tannins. Long finish with notes of white pepper.

"A white Beaujolais to discover!

Still little-known, white Beaujolais can astonish and amaze your friends. This Chardonnay is a rarity to be discovered. Round, rich and full-bodied, with aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit, it delicately envelops the taste buds. It exudes a certain aromatic complexity due to the 3 types of terroir from which it comes. It can also reveal a few surprises with 3 or 4 years, with buttery, honeyed notes.

"Aromas of raspberry, plum and orange zest prefigure the 2018 Brouilly Pierreux, a fleshy, dense wine with a satiny attack that continues into a passage on the elegant, structured palate, with lively acids and a fragrant, ample finish. This cuvée, aged for six months in old foudres, proves very successful." (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) Pure substance and minerality!
