✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine des Pontheux is situated in Chiroubles, the highest and coolest of the ten Crus of Beaujolais. Managed under the legendary house of Georges Duboeuf, this estate showcases the delicate, ethereal side of the Gamay grape. The vineyard's steep slopes are rich in decomposed pink granite and quartz, known locally as 'gore', which forces the vines to dig deep for nutrients. This unique terroir, combined with the high altitude, yields a wine of remarkable freshness and elegance. Traditionally vinified using semi-carbonic maceration to emphasize its bright fruit character, this wine captures the essence of Chiroubles—often celebrated as the most floral and graceful of the Crus, carrying a historical reputation for producing wines of pure, joyful expression.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Les Vins Georges Duboeuf har hjemsted i Romanèche-Thorins i det franske Beaujolais og blev grundlagt i 1964 af Georges Duboeuf, der ofte hyldes som 'Kongen af Beaujolais'. Négociant-huset revolutionerede regionens internationale profil ved at slå et slag for domæneaftapninger, opbygge tætte partnerskaber med lokale vinbønder og gøre det årlige Beaujolais Nouveau-fænomen verdensberømt. Huset ledes i dag af Duboeuf-familien og er fortsat dybt engageret i at formidle Gamay-druens mange terroirfacetter på tværs af de ti Beaujolais Crus – herunder Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon og Juliénas – sideløbende med et nøje udvalgt sortiment fra Rhône-dalen og Pays d'Oc.
