Domaine du Vissoux Beaujolais Cuvée Traditionnelle Vieilles Vignes is a classic expression of Beaujolais, produced by the renowned Chermette family. This wine is made from 100% Gamay grapes sourced from sustainably farmed, old vines (vieilles vignes), which are over 35 years old. The terroir of sandy, granitic soils imparts a distinctive minerality while the traditional semi-carbonic maceration enhances its fruity character. The wine is aged in neutral oak foudres, adding subtle complexity and body without overpowering the fresh fruit profile. Known for its elegance and ability to improve with a bit of ageing, this wine has received praise for its authenticity and depth, embracing the true nature of the terroir and varietal. Twice voted as one of the top Beaujolais by major wine publications.
