Domaine de Belliviere Vin de France Pollux 2017 newsletter-feb24 Nose of saddle leather"Red wines which do not consist of at least 50% Pineau d'Aunis cannot lay claim to the appellation. For this reason, Pollux is bottled as Vin de France. Grapes are from six small plots situated in the communes of Lhomme, Chahaignes and Maon. Heavy terraced flinty clay, white flint bearing clay and secondary era clay and sand. 100% Gamay de Bouze, Gamay Freaux, Gamay noir a jus blanc."
