Very representative of AOC Fleurie, the queen of the Beaujolais Crus, this cuvée bears the stamp of the terroir of Poncié. The silky tannins and floral aromas give the wine a feminine personality, packed with finesse and suavity. The nose is delicate and floral and on the palate the silky Poncié tannins give suppleness, delicacy and elegance. Over and above red fruit, you will find notes of toast and undergrowth with an end that is often peppery.
Grape 100% Gamay

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Domaines Chermette is a family-run wine estate located in Saint Vérand, in the golden stone area of the Pierres Dorées, southern Beaujolais. Combining tradition and modernity, Martine, Pierre-Marie and Jean-Etienne Chermette are fully committed to bring you really high quality, authentic terroir wines. They were among the first in Beaujolais to use sustainable agricultural practices and now their wines are made with minimal intervention: wild yeasts, minimal sulphur additions and no filtering if possible.
Not only do the Chermettes produce outstanding Beaujolais from the crus of Moulin à Vent, Brouilly and Fleurie, but they also make some of France’s most highly regarded Crème de Cassis from their own blackcurrants.
