Benoit Germain
Chateau De Chorey
Benoit Germain is the latest Germain to assume winemaking responsibility at the Chateau de Chorey. The Chateau was reconstructed in the 1660’s on a structure dating to the 13th century. The Germains work 17 hectares of vineyard spread over the Chorey les Beaune appelation with land in Meursault and Pernand-Vergelesses.

Tasting Note
This has a delightful, youthful colour, still with a tinge of purple. Blackberry fruit on the nose, with some buttery crumble notes, and a peppery twist too. On the palate this is dry, savoury and reserved, but with really nice blackberry and raspberry fruit. Behind it there sits just a little seam of tannin, which suggests that this will drink very well for several years, although it is lovely to drink now. Nice, dry and mouth-watering, even if a little short on the finish. This is very good indeed.
An easy-drinking wine, to open at any time for his fruity character… a wine for pleasure, with
a round, generous and tender taste.
