Named after the grove of cherry trees that flank the vineyard, this mouthwatering crowd pleaser comes from 40 year old Gamay vines grown in dark granite soils around the Chermette homestead in Saint-Vérand, Southern Beaujolais.
Where the family’s Crus from Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie are built to age, this wine has a different job: light to medium bodied, bright and cherry fruited, with the kind of charm that has you reaching for another glass.
The winemaking has barely changed in decades. The grapes are hand harvested and undergo traditional whole bunch semi-carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by three to six months in concrete tanks to preserve purity and freshness.
