Vissoux P.M. Chermette Brouilly Pierreux [JS 92] [VM 91] 2015

“Pure aromas of gamay with blackberry and blueberry character. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy and fruity finish. Will be renamed Pierre-Marie Chermette starting with the 2016 vintage.” James Suckling 92 Points

“Bright violet. Ripe cherry and dark berries on the powerful, spice-accented nose. Supple and open-knit, offering fleshy cherry and cassis flavors lifted by a jolt of juicy acidity. Shows very good energy and breadth on the gently tannic, dark-fruit-dominated finish, which leaves a sappy blue fruit note behind.” Vinous 91 Points

“Although the Chermette family is based among the Beaujolais vineyards to the south, it does also possess vines in the crus villages of the north. With an open, ripe and juicy character the wine has concentration and richness. It is full, fruity and ready to drink.” Wine Enthusiast 90 Points

“The 2015 Brouilly Pierreux has a slightly smudged mulberry and dark cherry-scented bouquet that would benefit from a little more freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet redcurrant and strawberry fruit, mixed with soy and a pinch of sea salt on the finish. This is a well crafted and harmonious Brouilly that would benefit from a year in bottle.” Wine Advocate 89 Points
