Collection: Pierre-Marie Chermette
Domaine Chermette is a family estate in Saint-Vérand, in the Golden Stone area (South of Beaujolais, in Rhone).
Combining tradition and innovation, Martine, Pierre-Marie and Jean-Etienne Chermette are fully involved in the production of authentic, high quality wines. White, red and Beaujolais rosé, crus such as Brouilly, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, Saint-Amour, Crémants de Bourgogne, as well as hand crafted fruit liqueurs, cassis and vine peach with ginger make up the range.
The hamlet of Le Vissoux in Saint-Vérand is the birthplace of the Vissoux family, dating back to the 17th century. It is the heart of the estate surrounded by a large 9 hectare plot, with a beautiful southwest exposure.
Unlike the predominantly clay-limestone terrain of the southern Beaujolais region, the soil here is granite. It is similar to that of Beaujolais Villages and it is the soil of predilection for the Gamay grape. This peculiarity helps to give more structure to the Beaujolais wines of the estate: Beaujolais les Griottes, Beaujolais Origine old vines and a part of white Beaujolais.
