"Jean-Étienne Chermette continues to craft one of the region's most dependable portfolios at this southern Beaujolais reference point. As I've written before, old vines, diligent but traditional vinification and élevage in foudre are the rudiments of the approach here. The younger Chermette—who has launched a label of his own in parallel, reviewed in this report—reminded me that the domaine attained 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-bodied, more ethereal, succulent style of Beaujolais than recent warm, dry vintages have tended to deliver, but at this address, those virtues don't come at the expense of flavor or substance."

Usually $39 - Special Offer $34
"Offering up aromas of cherries and plums, the 2021 Beaujolais Griotte is medium-bodied, with a pretty core of fruit girdled by tangy acids. It derives from 40-year-old vines in the commune of Saint-Vérand."

2021 Beaujolais 'Origine' V.V.

"A strong effort, the 2021 Beaujolais Origine Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of sweet berries, cherries and petals, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and fleshy palate, with a lively spine of acidity and a saline finish. After a series of sweeter, richer vintages, it represents a return to a more classically proportioned style."
