Bottled under screwcap and stored in optimal conditions I was a little surprised to taste (mildly) oxidised characters in this Beaujolais. Until, that is, I realised this was a 2018 vintage lost in the cellar rather than a current release. From well regarded producer Pierre-Marie Chermette this wine has aromas of macerated red strawberries and a cut grass oxidised character. The palate has still vibrant stawberries but more stewed than fresh. Drink up. Review Rating: Acceptable to Good (★★☆, 85 points). Website: Famille Chermette. Tasted: July 2024.
