WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Fleurie Poncié 2022 is produced using 100% Gamay grapes. The winemaking process begins with hand-harvested grapes, which are then sorted before undergoing semi-carbonic maceration in concrete tanks for ten days. During maceration, the must is pumped over twice daily. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in old oak barrels. Minimal sulfur is added before bottling. The producer employs sustainable farming principles and utilizes natural yeasts.
