[TN] '06 Chermette Bojo

May 01, 2008 8 Replies

After a late night's work last night, I returned home to find a bottle of wine open on the kitchen counter. In the interests of scientific inquiry, I of course had to try some ;-)


2006 Dom. de Vissoux Beaujolais "Pierre Chermette" nose: fresh, bright red fruit palate: light body, fruity, forward

My previous experience with this producer had been with their Fleurie "Poncié" and their old vine "Cuvée Traditionelle." In contrast to the CT, this wine is simpler, lighter and more exuberantly fruity, a lovely "vin de soif" but not a wine to age.

Not at all. On the contrary, a light and pleasant quaff.

thanks,. That was my impression of the previous vintage - tasty and slurpable, but without the gravitas (can you say that about a Beaujolais?) of the CT.

Yes, thought it's certainly used less than its counterpart, vin de garde.

So, this is a serious light and pleasant quaff for aging.

I'll have to try me some.

He wasn't talking about the same wine. He was talking 2 categories into which the French lump wines.

No.

Life would be poorer indeed if we only had vin de garde, and never drank vin de soif.

I expected the misunderstanding :-) Vin de garde - is a wine to guard, that is: to keep. Vin de soif - wine for thirst - a quaffer, a refreshement.

A misunderstanding that was not completely unintentional. :)
