Fine, energetic Burgundy bubbles with orchard-fruit charm

Chermette’s Crémant de Bourgogne is made entirely from Chardonnay grown in a single 4.5-hectare parcel just north of the family cellars in Le Bois-d’Oingt. The southwest-facing vines grow on clay and limestone soils, ideally suited to producing Chardonnay with freshness and definition.

The current disgorgement blends the 2021, 2022 and 2023 vintages and spent 18 months ageing in bottle. With minimal sulphur, no fining or filtration and a low dosage of just 4 g/L, the wine remains dry, pure and full of energy.

Juicy orchard fruit meets fine, airy bubbles and a fresh, sculpted palate. Elegant yet wonderfully easy to enjoy, this is beautifully made sparkling Burgundy with clarity, texture and plenty of charm.

Chermette is a family-run Beaujolais domaine led by Pierre-Marie Chermette since 1982. The family farms sustainably, avoiding synthetic products, ploughing its soils, encouraging natural ground cover and carefully controlling yields to produce vibrant wines that speak clearly of their origins.

Why we love it

Juicy, refined and wonderfully energetic, with delicate bubbles, fresh orchard fruit and a beautifully dry finish.

About the Wine

• Chermette is a family-run Beaujolais domaine currently run by Pierre-Marie Chermette, who took over from his father in 1982.

• It farms 30 hectares of Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages vines, plus 20 hectares of Cru vines across Brouilly, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and Saint-Amour.

• The soils are predominantly granite of various types with more of a clay/limestone profile in the Chardonnay parcels.

• Farming is sustainable and eschews synthetic products, the soils are ploughed, natural grass cover is promoted, and yields are tightly controlled.

About the Winemaker
The late Marcel Lapierre once said of Beaujolais: “Ça se bois sous la douche.” Translation: It’s a wine to drink under the shower. While this captures the simple deliciousness of much Beaujolais, it doesn’t do justice to the wines being produced by the finest artisans like Pierre-Marie Chermette. Of the wines of this grower, we would be more likely to say, “Il est trop bon d'être bu sous la douche!” (It’s too damn good to be drunk in the shower!). Beaujolais can be the most joyful, compelling and life-affirming of wines. Yet in the hands of a master, it can also be a wonderfully refined, long-lived Burgundy. Domaine du Vissoux is a producer capable of fashioning such wines, which is why they can be found in many of France’s finest restaurants.

"These are bottles that Burgundy lovers should load up on—they deliver the pleasure of many a village-level wine for a fraction of the price."

The old vine, wild ferment, unchapitalised and unfiltered Beaujolais from this touchstone producer have been over-delivering since the ‘80s. In those first decades, his wines helped raise the bar considerably and left a lasting influence on the region. Owners Pierre-Marie and Martine Chermette were among the first in Beaujolais to use sustainable agricultural practices, shunning the use of any chemicals in the vineyard and encouraging as much life in the soil as possible. They prune hard to keep yields low, harvest by hand when the grapes are fully ripe and regularly carry out green harvests to further reduce the yields and ensure full ripeness for the harvest. The wines are made with minimal intervention: wild yeasts, minimal sulphur additions and no filtering if possible. Aging is in traditional up-to-the-ceiling, neutral oak casks.


It’s rare to see Pierre-Marie without a smile on his face and similarly, this affable grower’s wines are crammed with the same kind of sparkle and joie de vivre that greets visitors to Chermette’s Saint-Vérand Domaine. And why shouldn’t he be happy? Pierre-Marie Chermette has close to forty successful vintages under his belt, and he has recently been joined by their son Jean-Étienne, ensuring Chermette’s star will continue to shine among the brightest in Beaujolais.
