Famille Descombe Chateau de Pougelon Brouilly "Clos Reisser" 2022
The story of the Descombe family as a wine producer began over a hundred years ago in 1905, when François Descombe was the mayor of the village of Saint Etienne des Oullières near Mont Brouilly. With Marine, the fifth generation representative, the vineyards have been expanded, and today the family has production not only in Beaujolais, but also in Chablis and Northern Rhône.
In addition to viticulture, each farm also takes care of nurturing the biodiversity of the environment by, for example, caring for forests. The family's plans are to plant up to 15,000 trees around their vineyards and partly in their place, because the trees protect the vineyards from both wind and frost, but also create a favorable habitat for insects, birds, bats and other small predators.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gamay from Brouilly in Beaujolais, France.
Clos Reisser is located on a magnificent plateau at an altitude of 250 meters, facing Mont Brouilly. The fruit is grown on stony soils of ancient alluvium. Temperate climate with favorable sunshine, but with strong variations due to conflicts between oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean influences
The Château de Pougelon was built in 1662 by the de La Font family. Since its acquisition, the fifth generation of Descombes has sought to restore the nobility of this great Beaujolais estate. Located at the foot of Mont Brouilly—a geological and historical emblem of the region—they undertook the reconstruction of the orangery, and thanks to its numerous national and international distinctions, Château de Pougelon has become the benchmark for wines produced by the Descombe family throughout the Beaujolais region.
Taste Profile: Ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of red fruits (strawberries, raspberries) and small black fruits (blackberries, blueberries) with slightly liquorice notes. On the palate, it has roundness & indulgence with black fruits & elegant tannins
Winemaking Process: The grapes are harvested manually, with sorting in the vineyard and in the cellar. The grapes are then partially destemmed. Maceration lasts 12 days. The grapes are pressed gently and slowly. Aged in concrete vats for 15 months.
