2020 Pierre-Marie Chermette Brouilly Pierreux

Grape variety: Gamay - Cordon de Royat pruning - 5,000 vines / hectare. Southern exposure.

The soil consists of granite scree following the erosion of Mont Brouilly and gives a mineral side to this wine. The name Pierreux certainly comes from the word “pierres” (stones), illustrating the make-up of the soil. Sustainable agriculture, manual harvest at full maturity.

Vinification: traditional for Beaujolais: half-carbonic maceration with two pump-overs per day, 10 to 12 days of maceration in concrete tanks, no chaptalization neither yeasting, minimum of SO2.
