| Château de Poncié | France | Beaujolais |
In the year 949, the owner of the Château de Poncié, called by its Latin name Villa Ponciago, donated his vineyard to the Abbey of Cluny, with the hope of saving his soul. A very old map bears long witness to the diversity of the domain. Its 46 hectares of vines on the slopes on the hillsides boasting no fewer than 40 distinct terroirs, surround the 18th century castle and its winery.
With the greatest respect for the soil and the biodiversity, the wines reflect the typical character of the Cru Fleurie. The wines are authentic, gastronomic, juicy and subtle.
| Vineyard |
From the top to the bottom of the slopes, each bunch of grapes benefits from its altitude, the sun and the wind. The rainwater runs off forcing the vine to dig deep into the soil. Manual harvest, in small cases of 13 kg. Careful manual sorting of each grape. Average yield 42hl / ha. |
|---|---|
| Vinification |
Parcel by parcel vinification in small tanks (50hl). Cold maceration (no addition of sulfur) with one part of whole bunches and one part of destalked bunches, followed by rather long fermentation (8-12 days) to allow the terroir aromas to emerge. Gentle punching of the cap. 20% ageing in mature oak barrels (3 to 5 years old barrels), to enrich the silky, velvety texture without sacrificing finesse. 80% Is matured for the 10 to 12 months in small tanks to maximal preserve the freshness.
