Pierre-Marie Chermette Les Griottes Beaujolais Rose 2023

Pierre-Marie Chermette started making rosé in 1985, at that time it was a real rarity in the Beaujolais region. Pierre-Marie has never made his rosé by bleeding/saignée (that is to say, drawing the juice off a tank of red Beaujolais to make it more concentrated) but has always vinified it as a wine in its own right.
