Pierre-Marie Chermette Coeur de Vendanges Beaujolais 2014

Slightly purple ruby color, seems quite dark for a Beaujolais. Aromas of homemade strawberry jam, spices, earth all in a complex nose. Serious on the palate with fruits flavors, good amount of spices and a good acidity level. Finish with a touch of caramel. Feels like it is above its Beaujolais rank. Is it because it’s made of centennial vines? A fact is that I like it! Very good+ (90)

Made of Gamay come from a 1ha vineyards planted of centennial vines. Aged in 5 to 10 years old oak barrels for 50% of the wine, the other part being aged in large old oak cask. Alcohol level of 12,5%
