Château de Poncié in Fleurie

Our history dates back to 949, when the Estate, already renowned for the quality of its wines, was gifted to the Abbey of Cluny. Since then, a succession of lords, counts, squires, heirs, and one of the musketeers of King Louis XV have owned Château de Poncié and its lands.
From the 18th century, the development of winegrowing took a major turn in the history of this first fiefdom in Fleurie.

In 2020, Château de Poncié was taken over by a new generation of vintners fully aware of the historical heritage they had been bequeathed. Today, Château de Poncié is an emblem of Fleurie in the Beaujolais region.

Historical studies attest to the diversity of the Estate since its origins, as it was already composed of rolling vineyards, gardens, and groves. Today, the Estate is completely converted to organic farming and agroforestry. Our winemakers work to preserve this richness. They plant trees, hedges, fruit trees, produce their own compost, bring animals into the vineyards, or replant by using massal selections of Gamay. All of these farming methods are thus contributing to the strengthening of the Estate's current assets.

More than just a winery, Château de Poncié is a true ecosystem in the hands of a new generation of winemakers. Working with respect for ancient know-how, soil specificity, period equipment and the diversified presence of flora and fauna, our team is committed to a conscientious approach to the environment.
Our priority is to promote the local economy and reduce our carbon footprint.
