Chateau De Pougelon

When roots have been piercing deep granite since 1919, the result is not merely a wine, but a living time capsule of Beaujolais that defies the ages. Its rarity - with only 985 bottles harvested in 2022 - reflects a strategic curatorial choice for precision, where semi-carbonic maceration and 24 months of aging deliver a structure reminiscent of great Burgundian Crus. The soil's minerality and concentrated fruit demand the earthy intensity of a wild mushroom tart or duck confit, where the Gamay's acidity cuts through richness with surgical finesse. Its deep ruby core, preserved by the lack of filtration, exudes aromas of black raspberries and wet stone.

This Morgon comes from a plot located in the northern part of the origin. Aging in concrete tanks for 15 months. It has a beautiful and attractive rose red color. On the nose it has elegant notes of black fruits and spices. In the mouth it is round and rich with elegant tannins. A strong wine! It perfectly accompanies meat in sauce, game and cheeses.

13 specific terroirs are identified within the AOP Fleurie. The "Grille-Midi" is one of the best of the appellation. The "Grille-Midi" forms a basin consisting of sand on the surface and pink granite visible at a depth of 30 to 40 cm. This wine is aged in concrete tanks for 13 months. Beautiful raspberry color. On the nose you will find elegant notes of lilac, violet and blackcurrant. In the mouth it is round with silky freshness. Enjoy with leg of lamb, poultry and white meats and cheeses.

The first encounter with the glass delivers an electric sense of minerality, reminiscent of rain on warm stone, immediately revealing the rare "blue stone" terroir of Beauvernay. This Julienas offers a purity of fruit rarely encountered at this level, with violets and cracked pepper leading the way. Precision in execution highlights a structure that demands bold pairings. The traditional match with calf's liver - the famous foie de veau - works like magic, as the meat's metallic notes harmonize with the soil's schistous character. Its vibrant ruby core and 18-month rest in concrete result in a wine of profound depth, perfect for a classic beef saute.

The pink granite substrate of the renowned lieu-dit "Voujon" grants this Brouilly a structural depth that stands apart from conventional Beaujolais, highlighting the singular intensity of its terroir. Manual harvesting and 18 months of maturation in concrete tanks preserve the aromatic precision of blackberry and blackcurrant, which integrate seamlessly with subtle hints of licorice. This gourmand roundness on the palate naturally seeks the savory intensity of grilled pork chops or a beef pierrade to fully articulate its vibrant energy, gradually revealing an intense ruby hue in the glass.

Perched on a unique plateau at 250 meters facing the majestic Mont Brouilly, Clos Reisser delivers a Gamay expression vibrant with freshness and mineral precision. Maturation for 15 months in concrete tanks allows the wild strawberry and raspberry aromas to retain their purity, naturally seeking the savory depth of artisanal charcuterie or the succulence of grilled pork chops to find perfect equilibrium. On the palate, its gourmet roundness and elegant tannins are accompanied by hints of blueberry and licorice, gradually revealing a brilliant ruby hue with purple highlights.
