2004 Pierre-Marie Chermette (Domaine du Vissoux) FLEURIE "Les Garants" (Beaujolais, France)

I was disappointed with this one, which is made by one of my favorite Beaujolais producers.

Medium garnet-ruby. Light intensity nose of freshly-mowed grass, grapes, and granite. Light-bodied, fresh flavors of minerals, granite, and tart grapes. A little underripe in my view and not terribly concentrated. The salty, minerally finish was more intense than the flavors on entry. 83. Was $19 and change at Spec's on Smith.
