Moulin-à-vent Générosité de Pierre-Marie

In tribute to Pierre-Marie Chermette, my father, who worked closely alongside my mother in both winemaking and vineyard cultivation. He is known for his generosity toward others. This wine is marked by its richness, roundness, and fresh fruit character. Born from a manganese-rich granite terroir in Rochegrès, this Moulin-à-Vent combines freshness and structure. Velvety in texture, it reveals aromas of red and black fruits, enhanced by a beautiful minerality and a long, persistent finish.
