93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Fleurie Poncié hails from a southeast-facing, higher-altitude site that’s typically quite cool, and that’s reflected in its bright, perfumed bouquet of raspberries, rose petals and Griotte cherries, with suggestions of darker fruits emerging with air. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure and nicely concentrated, with fine tannins, a bright line of acidity and good length on the finish. Drink: 2018-2025. (Sep 2018)"
92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "I tasted the 2017 Poncié bottling from the Chermette family during my visit last spring (only two weeks after it had been bottled), and was happy to see that it is blossoming nicely with a year in bottle. The bouquet is pure and nicely black fruity in its constellation of black cherries, cassis, woodsmoke, fresh thyme, a fine base of dark soil tones, a hint of meatiness and a hint of pinot noir-like cola tones starting to develop in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely soil-driven, with lovely focus and grip, a good core, a touch of back-end tannin and lovely length and grip on the complex finish. Like many of the top 2017 Crus, this is approachable now, but will be even better with a bit of bottle age to allow its tannins to soften up completely. It should prove to be nicely long-lived. 2020-2040+. (Jan/Feb 2019)"
