Chermette's Poncié cuvee - drawn from 4.5ha of 45 year old vines on pink granite soils rich in mica and quartz - usually delivers Chermette's most thirst quenching and seductive cru bottling. The 2016 is true to form; "élégant et aérien" says Pierre-Marie (which very roughly translates as delicious :). The high altitude and south-easterly inclination of this site always encourages a sense of brisk energy and this translates into a racy brew with red fruit, mineral and floral aromas and flavours, juicy texture and svelte tannins. Finesse + here and already great drinking.
