Vissoux (Chermette) Fleurie Poncié 2019 1.5L

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2019 Fleurie “Poncié” from Domaine Chermette is another outstanding young example of this fine vintage, offering up a vibrant and quite red fruity nose of cherries, strawberries, cranberries, fresh herb tones, woodsmoke, a lovely base of soil and a floral topnote of roses and peonies. On the palate the wine is bright, full and tangy, with a superb core of fruit, fine soil undertow, suave, buried tannins, bouncy acids and a long, complex and soil-driven finish. This is every bit as youthful as the les Garants out of the blocks, but having been raised in solely older casks, it seems to be more complete out of the blocks. So, if I were to choose one of these two excellent Fleuries to drink right away, it would certainly be the Poncié. But, I would prefer to give this wine some bottle age as well, as there are more layers of complexity to unfold here with the passage of time! 2021-2045+. (Jul/Aug 2021)”
