🏰 The 2012 vintage for Beaujolais was challenging due to hail and frost, leading to lower yields, but ultimately delivered wines with pure fruit aromas, firm acidity, and excellent terroir expression. Pierre Marie Chermette's Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes 2012, from old vines, is a testament to quality winemaking in a difficult year. 【Expect a luminous wine with lively, pure red fruit notes like raspberry coulis and wild strawberry, a slightly tangy palate, and a crisp, full-bodied finish, showcasing the true DNA of Gamay.】 🍴 This refreshing and fruity Beaujolais is incredibly versatile. It pairs wonderfully with charcuterie, roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or light pasta dishes. For a Cantonese pairing, consider dim sum, roasted squab, or even a light stir-fry with mushrooms and vegetables. 🥂 Perfect for a casual gathering with friends, a picnic, or as an everyday drinking wine. It's meant to be enjoyed in its youth for its charming fruitiness, but some examples from this vintage can age beautifully for several years.
