Château de Poncié
Le Pré Roi Fleurie Gamay
Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
A little bit funky and earthy but the funk blew off quickly enough and in its place was a lovely floral element that melded well with the tart raspberry core.
Enjoyed at Les Cocottes in Paris, a restaurant that provides a modern take on the French tradition of cooking in cast iron casserole pots, hence the name.

Good and Bretty. Leesy. Black raspberries. Gas blows off. Chilling it down a few degrees totally changed the wine. Air was kind, as well. Flowers and tart cherries emerged. Mineral. Revised score (way) up.

I swear this wine's memory's been fueling my morning boners.

We had this with a roast chicken, and man is life good. The soft mouthfeel and violets on the nose, the depth and approachability, this was really nice. This one could easily have seen another 5–10 years of aging and still been wonderful. We decanted, and that breathing helped. As it opened up over the course of the evening it became more and more luscious.

Light, delicious, funky raspberry and cherry notes. Paired with Vietnamese steak au poivre.

Wow. Bursting with blackberries but still balanced with an easy going tannin/acidity level. I had it slightly chilled ~20 mins in the fridge and aerated. Definitely will buy again.
