"Extra brut, the crémant is taut but not austere, with a lovely saline touch on the finish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A beautiful 100% Chardonnay sparkling wine made using the traditional method. Its blend of three vintages is a guarantee of balance and quality, and we particularly like its freshness and fine, persistent bubbles. Don't hesitate to buy it!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Martine and Pierre-Marie Chermette are gradually handing over the reins to their son Jean-Étienne Chermette, who has been quick to introduce some important changes. In particular, the name of the estate: domains Chermette instead of domaine du Vissoux. That said, the essentials are still there: 31 hectares of red Beaujolais, 5.5 hectares of white Beaujolais, 16.50 hectares of crus in Fleurie, Brouilly and Moulin-à-Vent. The domaine, renowned for its delicious, round wines, seems to have taken on a stricter style in recent vintages, perhaps more geared towards ageing. Nonetheless, the quality is still there, with a special mention for Les Garants and Les-Trois-Roches in 2016.

Domain rated 2022 (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the domain :

Jean-Étienne Chermette continues to shape one of the region's most reliable portfolios at this southern Beaujolais landmark. As I've written before, old vines, assiduous but traditional vinification and barrel aging are the rudiments of the approach here. Young Chermette, who has launched his own label in parallel, reviewed in this dossier, reminded me that the domaine had obtained Terra Vitis certification in 2018, which is definitely a step in the right direction. 2021 at this address, as elsewhere, marks a return to a lighter, more ethereal and succulent style of Beaujolais that recent hot, dry vintages have tended to offer, but at this address, these virtues don't come at the expense of flavor or substance.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

Extra brut, this crémant is taut but not austere, with a nice saline touch on the finish.

About the domain :

The domaine's slogan, "l'art de faire le vin au plus près du raisin" ("the art of making wine as close to the grape as possible"), perfectly reflects the range of skills of artisan winemaker Pierre-Marie Chermette, now joined by Jean-Étienne, one of his sons. Chermette began his career on his parents' 10 hectares in southern Beaujolais, before acquiring 20 hectares in the Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent crus, then in Brouilly in 2008. The wines revolve around a core of weathered fruit that charms while respecting the identity of the terroirs. A sign of quality, the wines age gracefully even in difficult vintages.
