Domaine du Vissoux Beaujolais “Coeur de Vendages” 2006
“His crus would be quite at home at a three-star restaurant”
Jacqueline Friedrich, The Wines of France
Vissoux is now the highest rated Beaujolais producer in Le Classement, the leading French wine guide. Owners Pierre-Marie and Martine Chermette were amongst the first in Beaujolais to use sustainable agricultural practices, shunning the use of any chemicals on 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 sometimes carry out “green harvests” to further reduce the yields and ensure full ripeness for the harvest.
The wines are made naturally with wild yeasts and minimal or no filtering.
The Chermettes seek excellence at every level. They put passion into their wines. Not only do they produce outstanding Beaujolais from the crus of Moulin à Vent and Fleurie and an area in the south of Beaujolais called Saint Verand but they also make some of France’s most highly regarded Crème de Cassis!
Beaujolais “Coeur de Vendages” 2006 is a classic Beaujolais Villages that is easy to drink and fruity with flavours of fresh red fruits. 100% estate grown fruit and harvested by hand.
