Vineyards & Vinification

Gamay comes from 2.5 ha planted on dark pink granite soils, with vines approximately 50 years old. Blend of two premier granite-based lieu‑dits—Poncié and Les Garants—hence the name Les Deux Granites. Soils feature classic Fleurie granite (pink granite and clay-limestone colluvions) in steep, southeast-facing slopes typical of the appellation.

Grapes are hand-picked, destemmed (whole‑bunch), and undergo traditional Beaujolais semi‑carbonic maceration for 9–11 days in concrete tanks. Fermentation includes two pump‑overs daily (~10 minutes each). Wine matures for 6–8 months in foudre (large neutral oak), with approximately 5 % in new oak barrels

The Winery

Based in Saint-Vérand in the southern Beaujolais region, Jean-Etienne Chermette’s wines are crafted with passion and traditional family expertise.

Jean cultivates 11.21 hectares of vines with an average age of 40 years, spanning Fleurie, Morgon, and Moulin-à-Vent in the north, and Légny and Saint-Vérand in the south. The village of Saint-Vérand boasts a granitic terroir similar to the Beaujolais crus, in contrast to the predominantly clay and limestone composition of southern Beaujolais. This distinctive soil, characterised by plagiogranites reminiscent of the blue stones found in Côte de Py, is exceptionally rare.

This terroir is uniformly spread across the village, imparting a robust structure ideal for Gamay and Viognier. It nurtures wines that are pure, deeply rooted, and rich in fruit, delicacy, with aging potential.
