Pierre-Marie Chermette Fleurie Poncié 2014 

Dense ruby color. Nose of red berries, dried flowers, spices and old wood. Intense palate, very young feel with cherry pit, flowers and lots of spices that adds a little bite on the finish. Medium acidity level, a little rustic and harsh for now, ageing shows even if not from new barrels and for a long period of time. I could say that the wine is not in a dumb phase right now as better days are ahead, and with some air it is enjoyable from now. Will be much better though with some cellar ageing. Very good+ (90)

Made of Gamay from a sloped plot of 4,5ha. Aged 6 months in old oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13%

Available at the SAQ for 25,70$ (Code SAQ : 10837314)
