Villa Ponciago Fleurie La Reserve

Terroir situated on the knoll of poncie and the hill of montgenas terroir on slopes of crystalline rock at the same time dry and demanding combines the conditions needed for rediscovering the historic qualities that made fleurie’s reputation. Know-how vineyard treatment: search for optimal ripening and small yields (lower than 45 hl/ha and down to below 25 hl/ha depending on the parcel). Harvest: manual in small cases of 13 kg. Careful manual sorting of each grape. Vinification: parcel-by-parcel vinification in small tanks (45hl). Thorough destalking to remove the very green stalks of the gamay. Cold maceration with one part of whole bunches and one part of destalked bunches followed by a rather long fermentation (8-12 days) to allow the terroir aromas to emerge. Gentle punching of the cap. Maturing: depending on the vintage 20 % to 30 % ageing in mature oak barrels (1 to 4-yearsold barrels) to enrich the silky velvety texture without sacrificing finesse. The remaind
