The 2024 Domaine Chermette Les Griottes 5L Bag-in-Box is a joyful, crowd-pleasing Beaujolais from one of the region’s benchmark family estates. Made from 30–40-year-old Gamay vines grown on dark granite soils in Saint-Vérand, southern Beaujolais, it is crafted using traditional semi-carbonic fermentation to preserve freshness, purity and drinkability. The 2024 vintage was cooler than average, producing a particularly vibrant and thirst-quenching style.
The nose bursts with red cherry, strawberry and raspberry, while the palate is light to medium-bodied, juicy and energetic with crunchy red fruits, hints of blueberry and a distinctive cherry-stone tang. Soft tannins and bright acidity make it effortlessly drinkable, finishing fresh, lively and moreish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A brilliant party wine and one of the best-value Beaujolais releases each year. Fresh, vibrant and dangerously easy to drink, it's perfect lightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled sausages, pizza or casual entertaining. The 5L format is ideal for gatherings and will keep beautifully once opened.
