Crémant de Bourgogne|Sparkling wine

3.6/5 (13 customers)

“A fine, velvety mousse elegantly carries the complex aromatic profile of this brilliantly crafted crémant. It offers hints of quince and dried fruit, with sweet almond at the forefront, followed by mirabelle plum and notes of incense.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau)

Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Martine and Pierre-Marie Chermette are gradually handing over the reins to their son, Jean-Étienne Chermette, who wasted no time in implementing some significant changes. In particular, the estate’s name: Domaines Chermette, replacing Domaine du Vissoux. That said, the essentials remain the same: 31 hectares of red Beaujolais, 5.5 hectares of white Beaujolais, and 16.50 hectares of crus in Fleurie, Brouilly, and Moulin-à-Vent. The estate, renowned for the richness and roundness of its wines, seems to have adopted a more austere style in recent vintages—perhaps one better suited for aging. Nevertheless, the quality remains consistently high, with special mention going to the “Garants” and “Les-Trois-Roches” from 2016.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

2022-Rated Estate (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

Jean-Étienne Chermette continues to craft one of the region’s most reliable portfolios at this landmark estate in southern Beaujolais. As I’ve written before, old vines, meticulous yet traditional winemaking, and aging in large oak casks are the cornerstones of the approach here. The young Chermette, who has also launched his own label—discussed in this feature—reminded me that the estate earned Terra Vitis certification in 2018, which is definitely a step in the right direction. The 2021 vintage here, as elsewhere, marks a return to a lighter, more ethereal, and succulent style of Beaujolais than the recent hot, dry vintages have tended to offer—but here, these qualities do not come at the expense of flavor or substance.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

The estate’s slogan, “the art of making wine as close to the grape as possible,” perfectly reflects the style of artisan winemaker Pierre-Marie Chermette, who is now joined by Jean-Étienne, one of his sons. He began his career on his parents’ 10 hectares in southern Beaujolais before acquiring 20 hectares in the Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent appellations, and then in Brouilly in 2008. The wines revolve around a core of mature fruit that charms while respecting the identity of the terroirs. A sign of quality, the wines age gracefully even in challenging vintages.
