Pierre-Marie Chermette Moulin-à-Vent ‘Les Trois Roches’ ‘23

This Cru Beaujolais from the esteemed Pierre-Marie Chermette glows with a translucent ruby garnet color. The nose is complex and captivating, offering a classic bouquet of red cherries, violets, peony, and a distinct granitic, mineral undertone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully structured, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity that carries flavors of red currant, blood orange, and a subtle spicy note. The finish is long and perfumed. Made using semi-carbonic maceration and aged in large, neutral barrels, this wine perfectly balances the vibrant fruit of Gamay with the serious structure and minerality of the Moulin-à-Vent terroir. Earning 93 points for its elegance and depth, it is a superb pairing for roast chicken, duck breast, or mushroom dishes.
