Fleurie ‘Poncereau’ 2021 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

Full of succulent ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, this is supple, silky and fresh. Some time in oak has enhanced the complexity and structure.

Vineyards

Fleurie is one of the 10 crus of Beaujolais. This appellation extends over around 800 hectares on schist and granite soil. The parcels of vines are situated near the village of Poncié, on the north and west hills with the best soil that Gamay can dream of. It is, in effect, principally composed of granite with a very fine surface and which appears to have a salmon colour.

Winemaking

Hand-harvested grapes were lightly pressed and fermented in barrels from our own cooperage. A third of these barrels are new. The wine is then aged for around 15 months on its lees before bottling.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
• Pizza/Pasta
• Salads and Picnics
• Casseroles/Stews
• Mild Creamy Cheeses
• Mature Strong Cheeses

Perfect with pâté, charcuterie and lots of crusty French bread.
