Château de Poncié

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. The idyllic vineyards, situated on the slopes of the hills, surround the 18th-century castle and 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. Of the 100 hectares owned by the domain, only the 40 hectares with the best exposition are planted as vineyards. The rest of the land, a combination of fields and woodland, dotted with 100-year-old cedars, shape the landscape and preserve its biodiversity.

Chateau de Poncié

The vines express the different characters and distinctive features of no fewer than 40 different terroirs with exceptional vineyards: Brirette, Hauts du Py, les Moriers, Carcans, Montgenas, Poncié, La Salomine, Le Pré Roi. Each separate plot has its own character and each plot benefits from a distinctive location, exposition and terroir. 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 plant to dig deep into the soil.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
