"Aromas of cherry, raspberry, spice, and wild rose introduce the 2019 Fleurie Poncié, a medium- to full-bodied wine that is pretty and refined, elegant and precise, built around lively acidity and powdery tannins. This is a particularly bright and vibrant Fleurie from Chermette. (Wine Advocate 2020 - William Kelley) A reflection of its terroir!

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Martine and Pierre-Marie Chermette are gradually handing over the reins to their son Jean-Étienne Chermette, who has wasted no time in introducing some significant changes. In particular, the name of the estate: Domaines Chermette instead of Domaine du Vissoux. That said, the essentials remain the same: 31 hectares of red Beaujolais, 5.5 hectares of white Beaujolais, and 16.50 hectares of cru wines in Fleurie, Brouilly, and Moulin-à-Vent. The estate, renowned for the richness and roundness of its wines, seems to have adopted a more rigorous style in recent vintages, perhaps more geared towards aging. Nevertheless, the quality remains high, with special mention for the Garants and Les Trois Roches in 2016.

About wine:
Aromas of cherry, raspberry, spice, and wild rose introduce the 2019 Fleurie Poncié, a medium-bodied to full-bodied wine that is lovely and refined, elegant and precise, built around lively acidity and powdery tannins. This is a particularly bright and vibrant Fleurie from Chermette.
About the estate:
Jean-Étienne Chermette continues to craft one of the most reliable portfolios in the region at this benchmark estate in southern Beaujolais. As I have written before, old vines, meticulous yet traditional winemaking, and barrel aging are the cornerstones of the approach here. The young Chermette, who has also launched his own label, discussed in this report, reminded me that the estate obtained Terra Vitis certification in 2018, which is definitely a step in the right direction. 2021 at this address, as elsewhere, marks a return to a lighter, more ethereal and succulent style of Beaujolais than recent hot and dry vintages have tended to offer, but at this address, these virtues do not come at the expense of flavor or substance.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
The estate's slogan, "the art of making wine as close as possible to the grape," perfectly reflects the range of artisan winemaker Pierre-Marie Chermette, now joined by Jean-Étienne, one of his sons. He began his career on his parents' 10 hectares in southern Beaujolais, before acquiring 20 hectares in the Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent crus, then in Brouilly in 2008. The wines revolve around a core of mature fruit that charms while respecting the identity of the terroirs. A sign of quality, the wines age gracefully even in difficult vintages.

Review and opinion by Mr. SEBASTIEN B. Published on 12/13/2020
Well done, in keeping with the spirit of the estate. But still very tight on the palate, struggling to reveal itself. Potential for development difficult to anticipate.
