Sad to see this one go. More stuffing than most bojos. Tastes four-square and almost Loire cabernet franc like with its crisp dark fruit, herbal and tobacco flavors. Very cleanly made. Consistently impressed with Chermette's wines.

My last of these, and I should have bought more! Awesome bottle. Nose remained rather subdued but the palate was outstanding right out of the gate. Strangely it never really gave a lot in the bouquet, but shone in the mouth regardless. Vissoux's 2012s were, IMO, a bit hard and austere in their youth, but truly blossomed with time. I have a hard time thinking these improve much from here, but this is drinking just wonderfully at the moment.

Jolie bouteille, le nez s'ouvre sur les fruits rouges, il pinote presque, et après une heure, de la ronce apparaît également (végétal classe) . En bouche, le vin est fluide, rond, aucune sensation tannique, çà glisse tout seul. C'est très agréable, facile, mais un peu court, on aimerait un peu plus de vin. Les limites du millésime, sans doute. A boire.

Enjoyed over two nights and this was delicious on both nights. The wine is heavily marked my a crunchy stony note but there's plenty of fruit as well. There is no harm in opening one now as I'm not sure it will improve at all but the performance on day two suggests this wine will last 5-10 years if not longer.

WOTN at a French vs Italian tasting. Lovely crunch bojo fruit, great depth of character for the region. Spot on right now and very well made.
