    Nicolas Chemarin

    Beaujolais-Villages “P’tit Grobis”

    France, Beaujolais

    Red

    Winery Overview

    Nicolas Chemarin farms 5 hectares of land in the village of Marchampt and a few small plots in Brouilly, Regnié and Morgon. Marchampt is a tiny village secluded in the forested hills of western Beaujolais just past Quincié-en-Beaujolais, on the edge of the Massif Central. Nicolas is the fourth generation to farm the family property and the only male of his generation to stay in the village, a fact that has earned him the nickname “Petit Grobis” a local term of endearment having to do with small hollows in trees used by owls. It was Nicolas’ father, Lucien, who first moved the family farm away from polyculture to concentrate his activities on his vineyards and wine production. Part of the Wine Traditions Portfolio.

    Terroir

    The Beaujolais-Villages vineyard in Marchampt is truly something to behold. The extremely steep slopes range from a 25% to 55% grade at an altitude of between 400 and 500 meters. The vines are head pruned, “gobelet,” and are planted at a density of 8,000 plants per hectare. Their average age is 40 years.

    Vinification

    The vinification is carbonic, using indigenous yeasts, and done without SO2. The maceration lasts 15 days after which the wine is matured on its fine lees until the spring. No sulfur is used during the entire process until just before bottling when a minimal dose is introduced.

    Tasting Notes

    “Petit Grobis” is an expressive and delicious wine, with bright notes of red berry fruit and crushed flowers, showing lively acidity, hints of meat, smoke and balanced minerality. Ideal with a spread of cured meats and cheeses.
