Famille Chermette Identity and history
Les Beaujolais Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay
White Beaujolais remains little-known and is a great wine to surprise and impress your friends with. This Chardonnay is a rarity to discover. Wonderful round, rich and tatty, it delicately coats your taste buds. The aromatic complexity is due to the 3 different terroirs it comes from. This is an easy Chardonnay to serve from the aperitif through starts, fish and white meat to goat’s cheese. It also has a few surprises in store in 3 to 4 years hence.
