2024 Domaine Anita Fleurie Poncié

Anita Kuhnel was a former professional cyclist. With the same drive, she now dedicates all her energy to crafting Beaujolais wines at Domaine Anita. Anita uses only high-quality terroirs for this purpose. These wines, made from the Gamay grape, have received numerous high ratings from renowned critics, including Robert Parker, James Suckling, and Wine Enthusiast.

The Domaine Anita Fleurie Poncié wine is a true expression of the Gamay grape. This wine comes from Beaujolais, and the vineyard where the vines are planted is 260 meters above sea level and is known for its pink granite subsoil. The vines are 45 years old, and all the grapes are hand-picked.

Technically, winemakers use the so-called "semi-carbonic maceration" technique. Carbonic maceration occurs when whole bunches of grapes, unbroken, are placed in a carbon dioxide-rich tank. Due to the lack of oxygen, the grapes undergo intracellular fermentation. For this reason, it's easier to understand why the grape bunches must be harvested by hand.

During intracellular fermentation, small amounts of ethanol are produced, approximately 1.5-2%. This phenomenon produces beneficial byproducts that improve the phenolic composition of the berries and alter the mouthfeel of the final wine.

Once intracellular fermentation reaches 1.5-2%, the berries burst naturally, releasing the juice into the tank. The winemaker then sends the grapes to the press or crushes them manually, and alcoholic fermentation continues.

The Domaine Anita Fleurie Poncié evokes a blend of pomegranate, violet, and other floral notes. Rich fruit flavors blend dark fruit and pomegranate, while floral notes and a hint of tannin linger in the background.
