Domaine du Vissoux (Pierre-Marie Chermette), Beaujolais Griottes, 2025
This is Beaujolais Nouveau done right — proof that the category can be soulful instead of silly. Les Griottes is the early-release primeur from Pierre-Marie Chermette's Domaine du Vissoux, a fifth-generation grower who keeps the old ways alive: granite soils (the Gamay grape's favorite), indigenous yeasts, long fermentations, and old foudres built by his great-grandfather. What makes this Nouveau special is the fruit — Chermette doesn't hold back his very old vines, some pushing a century, which gives this so-called "simple" wine real texture and depth. It's named for the cherry (griotte) flavor that defines it. Serve it with a slight chill and drink it young and joyful — this is pure glou-glou pleasure with a serious pedigree behind it.
