Descrizione

The Saint-Amour Les Champs-Grillés from Domaines Chermette is a delightful example of how the terroir of Beaujolais can express itself through the Gamay grape variety. This wine comes from the prestigious Saint-Amour appellation, known for producing wines that combine elegance and structure.

The "Les Champs-Grillés" cuvée is characterized by a careful winemaking process, focusing on enhancing the aromatic qualities of Gamay; maturation in used oak barrels contributes to enriching the profile without overpowering the fruity character of the grape variety. The result is a medium-bodied wine with a rich bouquet of red fruit aromas, mild spices, and a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate, it presents a balanced profile, with good acidity and soft tannins that promise good aging potential.

Perfect to serve at a temperature of 16-18°C, the Saint-Amour Les Champs-Grillés pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses. A wine that brings the elegance and charm of its terroir to the table.

Winery history

The family has been established in the locality of Le Vissoux since the 17th century. The estate is run by the Chermette family, with generational succession evidenced by Pierre‑Marie taking over management in 1982, consolidating bottled sales and a traditional production style. In the 1990s and 2000s the property acquired parcels in the crus and developed a diversified range, as well as beginning production of Crémant de Bourgogne. Since 2017 Jean‑Etienne has joined the family business and in 2023 assumed management of SARL Famille Chermette; in 2018 the domaine adopted the name Domaines Chermette to reflect the plurality of parcels and appellations.

Production philosophy

"The art of making wine as close to the grapes as possible": a minimal-intervention approach in the vineyard and cellar, hand-harvested and sorted grapes, traditional Beaujolais-style vinifications, use of indigenous yeasts, limited use of sulfites, no chaptalization for many cuvées, and a focus on environmental sustainability.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Saint‑Vérand in the 'Pierres Dorées' area of southern Beaujolais. The estate manages parcels across several Beaujolais crus, with terroirs ranging from the granites of Moulin‑à‑Vent to the clay‑limestone soils also used for Chardonnay destined for Beaujolais Blanc.

Awards and recognitions

Cuvées such as "Les Trois Roches" and others have received high scores and recognition in specialized publications across multiple vintages.
