Domaine du Vissoux - Pierre-Marie Chermette, Brouilly 'Pierreux' 2020

100% Gamay. A masterful 5th generation grower, Pierre has maintained the strict traditions of his ancestors and of the region, with more tenacity than most. This means farming in as sustainable a manner as possible, only using indigenous yeasts for every wine, long fermentations and making whole-cluster (semi-carbonic) wines in the old foudres built by his great-grandfather. The 'Pierreux' comes from 30 year old vines grown in granitic soil at the base of Mount Brouilly. Herbacious, delicate red fruit and a rustic touch of briary spice on the finish.
