WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaine Pontheux Chiroubles is made from 100% Gamay grapes. Traditional Beaujolais vinification methods, such as carbonic maceration, are commonly employed. This process typically involves fermenting whole grape clusters, which contributes to the wine's characteristic fruitiness and softer tannin structure. Chiroubles wines are generally intended for early to mid-term drinking, with some suggesting a short period of aging to enhance their finesse.
