Beaujolais Villages Grande Lamure Château de Poncié (anciennement Villa Ponciago) 2016

Villa Pociago is a historic domain in the Fleurie appellation. Since 2008 it has been under the charge of the the Henriots, a family from the Champagne region who also own Champagne Henriot, Bouchard Père & Fils and William Fèvre. The vineyard spans 49 hectacres and is mostly situated on fairly steep slopes. In constant pursuit of finesse and elegance, the quality of production has progressed enormously in the last few years.

White Beaujolais wines are truly rare! This is a superb example from deep, clay-sand soils. Classic vinifications are carried out on fine lees in stainless-steel vats. The élevage is also done on fine lees, in used oak barrels (3 or 4 wines) for 7 months. This allows to retain freshness and the purity of the fruit. On the palate, the wine opens on notes of white fruits, white flowers and fresh butter. Enjoy with fish or white meats.
