"The 2022 Poncié is a breathtakingly beautiful example of this stunning vintage ... This is utterly brilliant Fleurie!"- John Gilman, View From the Cellar
Domaine du Vissoux, now under the direction of the extremely talented Jean-Etienne Chermette, continues to set the bar in Fleurie. From some of the appellation's choicest parcels, these are always among the most admired expressions, particularly in the excellent 2022 vintage. Chermette once again hit high marks across the board with the notoriously stingy John Gilman of View From the Cellar, led by the 95-point Poncié from the steepest hillside in Fleurie. The 2022 is pure terroir, "deep, full-bodied, precise and tangy, with a sappy core of fruit, beautiful soil signature and grip ... on the complex and impeccably balanced finish" according to Gilman. Foudre-aged and set for several years of development, the 2022 Poncié punches with many a 1er cru red Burgundy, while remaining a world-class collectible steal at our market-best pricing under $30. |
