The 2025 Domaine Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes is a vibrant 100% Gamay from Beaujolais, made from 30–40-year-old vines grown on dark granite soils. Bright and immediately appealing, it shows fresh Morello cherry, raspberry and strawberry, capturing the juicy, crunchy red-fruit character that defines this cuvée.
On the palate, it is fresh, supple and energetic, with lively acidity, gentle tannins and a deliciously juicy finish. The grapes are hand harvested and undergo traditional whole-bunch semi-carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by 3–6 months in concrete tanks to preserve purity and freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy light, juicy reds with vibrant fruit and minimal heaviness. Best enjoyed now or within the next 2 years, slightly chilled. Ideal with charcuterie, barbecue pork, grilled sausages, roast chicken, pizza or Asian dishes.
