Tasting Notes
Griottes means 'small cherries'. A great starting point when you're just getting into Beaujolais even if it is from 20-40 year old vines. It's sublime really; slick and polished and fruit (cherries!) driven. Chill slightly and enjoy. - Chris L
Owners Pierre-Marie and Martine Chermette were among the first in Beaujolais to use sustainable agricultural practices, shunning the use of any chemicals in the vineyard and encouraging as much life in the soil as possible. They prune hard to keep yields low, harvest by hand when the grapes are fully ripe and regularly carry out 'green harvests' to further reduce the yields and ensure full ripeness for the harvest. The wines are made with minimal intervention: wild yeasts, minimal sulphur additions and no filtering if possible. Ageing is in traditional up-to-the-ceiling, neutral oak casks. - Importer Note
