Pierre Marie Chermette, Brouilly Pierreux Rouge, 2016
🏰 【Pierre-Marie Chermette's Brouilly Pierreux Rouge 2016 masterfully captures the essence of Beaujolais terroir, renowned for its vigorous character, balanced structure, and pure fruit flavors from 30-year-old Gamay vines】. This wine hails from Brouilly, one of the ten crus of Beaujolais, where vines are planted on granitic scree. The domaine employs traditional Beaujolais vinification with whole bunch, half-carbonic maceration, and aging for 5 to 8 months in old oak foudres. The 2016 vintage is noted for its attractive freshness and sleek, good line of flavor. It displays a deep ruby color. The nose offers a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits like cherries and blackberries, enhanced by a subtle spicy note reminiscent of black pepper. On the palate, it is velvety and harmonious, with well-integrated tannins leading to a persistent and pleasantly fresh finish, supported by vibrant acidity. Tangy berries, cranberry, and raspberry notes are also prominent, emphasizing its pure fruit character.
🍴 This versatile Beaujolais red is ideal for accompanying red meat dishes, roast poultry, or soft cheeses. It also pairs well with veal, pork, pasta, and cured meats. Consider original pairings like quail with truffles or oxtail risotto.
🥂 Perfect for everyday enjoyment, casual gatherings with friends, or exploring the authentic expressions of Beaujolais terroir.
