Domaine Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes 1.5L MAGNUM 2024

Domaine Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes, here in magnum, is named after the grove of cherry trees beside the vineyard and is made in a deliberately light, early-drinking style.

Southern Beaujolais, around the Chermette home at Saint-Vérand, is gentler country than the granite crus to the north. Les Griottes comes from 30- to 40-year-old Gamay on dark granite soils close to the family house. Where Chermette’s Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie are built to age, this cuvée is aimed at the table: light to medium in body, bright and cherry-fruited. The method has not changed in decades — traditional whole-bunch, semi-carbonic fermentation in concrete tanks, followed by maturation in tank and old oak casks, with no new wood involved. This is the 1.5-litre magnum, a format that ages a little more slowly than a standard bottle and suits a wine intended for a crowd.

Drink over the next two to three years. Serve at 16°C, or lightly chilled in warm weather, with charcuterie, roast chicken or a ham and cheese board.
