Wine Facts
VITICULTURE: These grapes are grown on Southeast-facing vines that are planted in the traditional French Guyot style.
VINIFICATION: After manual harvesting and gentle pressing, fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures (80% malolactic). The wine stays on its lees for a short time, with juice racking. Ten percent of the wine is then aged in new French oak for eight months, before bottling.
FAMILY: For more than 200 years, the Béranger family has resided in Pouilly, a hamlet of Solutré. This area was formerly called the Béranger District. The Father Emile and his son, Robert, cultivate the 12.35 acres of the estate with the help of their spouses. Emile, who was born in the house, has been tending the land for more than 50 years. Madame Béranger is also the daughter and granddaughter of winegrowers.
