Domaine Chermette Beaujolais (Origine) Tradition 2021 | Ewineasia.com

This Cuvee was created in 1986 under impetus from our friend Jean Brouilly, who used to be 'starred' master chef in Tarare and who wanted avery natural Easter cuvee. This was at a time when the fashion was for Nouveaus with banana flavours. We decided to make a cuvee to buck the trend : the spring Beaujolais, as close as possible to its parent grape , non chaptalised, without yeast and vinified using the traditional method, hence its name back then - Cuvee Traditionnelle. It has been much emulated since then. It is cuvee that introduced the winemaking style of the estate and this is the reason why Jean-Etienne Chermette renamed it Origine in 2018
