Community Tasting Notes 4

  December 17, 2008 - The voluptuous side of Fleurie. Drinking really well at the moment, with ripe red fruit balanced by a mineral edge, and just a bit of high toned VA. Plush soft mouthfeel, that finishes with some spice and ripe tannin. I've mostly been a Cuvee Traditionelle fan when it comes to Vissoux, but this is pretty convincing tonight. Much more enjoyable than a bottle opened in June. Definitely in a nice drinking window.

  August 27, 2008 - My introduction to "real" (i.e. non-Duboeuf) beaujolais and I'm impressed. Soft textured, sweet cherry fragrance, a very slight hint of game - slow and still and quite deep, and with a bit of grip on the finish. I'll get some more.

  June 2, 2008 - Nice enough nose here, but at first sniff is a little primary and one dimensional right now. It seems a bit riper than the 06 Diochon MaV than I tried the other night. After several hours some hints of minerals come through. Good wine, but I think I will hold off opening any more for a bit, as there is more in store than it is giving now.

  April 30, 2008 - Joli nez floral qui honore l'appellation...avec des fruits jaunes. En bouche, le vin est léger, fin, avec une belle présence aromatique. On y trouve la fraicheur et la pureté habituelles des vins de Chermette comme je les connais. Il est surprenant de goûter un vin si léger qui a une telle persistance en bouche. Avec l'aération il prend un peu de poid mais ne perd rien de son équilibre. Pas la profondeur du 2005 mais fort joli. On est aux antipodes de l'Australie!
