Jadot Fleurie Domaine de Poncereau Beaujolais France is fruity as well as floral and it is a mellow and elegant but also racy wine with a silky texture and finesse. Full, ripe red fruits are balanced by a supple freshness and acidity on the palate with a long finish.

The Beaujolais vineyards are situated in the Southern part of the Burgundy region. Fleurie is one of the 10 ‘Crus’ of the Beaujolais situated between Villefranche sur Saône and Mâcon. Approximately 815 ha are produced under the Fleurie appellation. The Fleurie Poncereau is vinified like most wines from this region: semi-carbonic maceration with pumping of the cap which is gentle on the grape clusters. It is then aged in oak barrels for 8-10 months before bottling.

Fleurie is the most popular Cru and this wine shows why with its seductive, drinkable style, full of succulent, ripe raspberry and cherry fruit this is supple, silky and fresh. Some time in oak has enhanced the complexity and structure.

From the tip of Chablis to the toe of Beaujolais, from regional, village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines Louis Jadot produces Burgundy and nothing but Burgundy. The familiar Bacchus head label has become the reliable stamp of quality and consistency from what can often be a confusing region.

Louis Henry Denis Jadot founded the business in 1859. His vision was to build a business with a high quality reputation. One of his key aims, as well as to make top wines, was to build a significant vineyard base. This vision remains core to the business today.
Today the business is headed up by Pierre Henry Gagey, son of Andre Gagey, who was entrusted with the management of Louis Jadot in 1962 by Madame Jadot following the tragic death of her son, Louis Auguste Jadot. Pierre Henry is a passionate believer in terroir, allowing the wines to present the very essence of Burgundy.

Perfect with pate, charcuterie and lots of crusty French bread. Try slightly chilled.
