94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Fleurie Les Garants has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, raspberries and pomegranate mingled with hints of rose petals and subtle spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and precise, it's seamless and delicate, with sneaky concentration, striking balance and a long, penetrating finish. Drink: 2020-2035. (May 2020)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The les Garants bottling from Pierre-Marie and Jean-Etienne Chermette is given ten percent new oak for its cask aging each year, whereas the Poncié bottling is always aged in older wood. The 2019 les Grants is a beautiful young wine, offering up a bright and nascently complex bouquet of cherries, cranberries, gamebird, fresh thyme, a lovely base of soil tones, some youthful stem tones and just a touch of gentle oakiness. On the palate the wine is deep, fullbodied, focused and sappy at the core, with tangy acids, excellent structure and grip and a long, moderately tannic and complex finish. This is a serious glass of Fleurie in the making and built for the long haul, so tuck a box away in the cellar and give it at least a couple of years of aging before opening that first bottle! 2023-2045+. (Jul/Aug 2021)"
