This Beaujolais cherrybomb is drawn from 20- to 40-year-old vines
grown on dark, granite soils around the Chermette homestead in Saint-Vérand
(southern Beaujolais). The winemaking here has remained unchanged for decades,
with traditional whole-bunch, semi-carbonic ferment in concrete tanks and then
maturation in tank and ancient oak casks still the order of the
day.
As opposed to his age-worthy Crus from Moulin-a-Vent, Fleurie, et

buoyant red that goes down dangerously
easily.
