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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Region: \u003c\/strong\u003e100% Gamay from Morgon in Beaujolais, France.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile: \u003c\/strong\u003eBrimming with freshness, this cuvée shines with its just-right extraction and a salivating minerality.
