Domaine du Vissoux 2008 Les Garants Gamay (Fleurie)
A firmly tannic wine, a complete contrast to Pierre Chermette’s other Fleurie, Poncié. This is serious, full of dark tannins, black plums and firm fruit, very solid. There is even a touch of minerality to add to the complex texture.

Domaine du Vissoux 2008 Les Trois Roches Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
As befits the most ageworthy of the Beaujolais crus, this is concentrated, firmly tannic stuff. Black berry flavors vie with cranberry acidity and texture. On top of that, there is dark toast and spice. Although it doesn’t lose sight of the fruit, it certainly needs aging.

Domaine du Vissoux 2006 Les Trois Roches Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
A rich, rounded wine, benefiting from concentrated fruit. There are solid tannns, dark bitter cherry fruits, licorice and fine ripeness. The aftertaste is ripe and sweet.

Domaine du Vissoux 2008 Poncié Gamay (Fleurie)
From 30-year-old vines, this is a big, jolly wine packed with ripe fruits, red plum juice and a full burst of richness in the mouth. The fruit is so ripe it is almost sweet, leaving a delicious strawberry flavor.

Domaine du Vissoux 2007 Les Trois Roches Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
While this is certainly structured, the wine shows green pepper flavors and very fresh raspberries, a product of the lightness of the vintage. It is attractive, offering some good freshness, but needs to be consumed now.

Domaine du Vissoux 2007 Coeur de Vendanges Gamay (Beaujolais)
This is light, crisp and very fresh with vibrant fruit, touches of green pepper and red currant to finish. There is some wood here, from old barrel aging, rounding out the fruit and softening it.
