Domaine de Fondrèche
Domaine de Fondrèche is located in Mazan, in the heart of the Côtes du Ventoux appellation. It is run by Nanou Barthélémy & Sébastien Vincenti, who have a simple objective: to produce "identi-terres" wines. In other words, wines that are as close as possible to their terroir, while enhancing its value.

The 38-hectare Domaine de Fondrèche vineyard is cultivated according to the principles of organic farming, with the aim of creating harmony between the vine, the soil and its direct environment. It is planted on three sites in the communes of Mazan, Mormoiron and Saint Pierre de Vassols. No chemical weedkillers are used, and grass is frequently planted between the rows. The soil is fertilized with 100% natural organic fertilizer. The estate is currently undergoing organic conversion.

Domaine de Fondrèche has a cellar that reflects its approach to wine. The basic principle is that it should be functional while respecting the quality of the grapes. The cellars are air-conditioned to ensure that the wines are matured and preserved in the best possible conditions.

"A charming vintage

A Ventoux that opens harmoniously with floral aromas of acacia blossom, hawthorn and honeysuckle, accompanied by hints of citrus and vanilla. Fatness and roundness fill the mouth, with a profile of yellow fruit, fine balance and very pleasant freshness. A cuvée acclaimed for its acidity, minerality and freshness, making it a rare and atypical southern white wine.

"Only on exceptional vintages".

"Complex, nuanced and exotic with a superb nose of black raspberries, spring flowers, graphite and peppery nuances (I'd probably guess a Côte Rotie blind)." (Jeb Dunnuck). This is a wine of exceptional richness that will tell us different stories as it ages.

Cuvée Persia is a complete wine. It reveals a nose of black fruits with a slight woodiness. The palate is full-bodied and fleshy, with elegant tannins and a fine finish. A great Ventoux wine!

"Pure and elegant

"Made from a single parcel of Syrah planted in 1955, this benchmark Ventoux red calibrates the finesse and angularity of Syrah with the intensity of southern Rhône sunshine and a saline, stony minerality. A powerful wine, it is also dazzlingly fresh, with chalky, fine tannins and a piercing, crystalline finish. Delicious young, the wine should ripen well through 2030 and last even longer."

In white, Persia is produced from the estate's oldest vines on a parcel of Roussanne. The nose is very mineral, with scents of white stone fruit, exotic fruit and white flowers with a hint of menthol. A full-bodied cuvée, with a fresh, saline attack and both richness and integrated acidity. Pair with asparagus with smoked bacon or veal sweetbreads, and you'll delight the taste buds of fine gourmets!

(2015 vintage notes)

The "nature" cuvée is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. For Sébastien Vicenti, "making a wine without sulfur and free of all technology is a real thrill! You learn a lot of things, not least how to work properly. When you can't take medicine, you shouldn't get sick." We confirm his words, as the expression of fruit here is remarkable, with notes of red fruit and violets inviting us to discover a delicious nectar on the palate, fresh, round, with silky tannins. We want more!

Notes : Robert Parker 90-93/100, Gault Millau 15,5/20, Jancis Robinson 16,5/20
"Tasted in its final blend, the 2012 Côtes du Ventoux Nadal, with its smoky notes, blends very old Grenache vines, Syrah and Mourvèdre aged in equal parts in barrels, foudres and ovoid concrete vats. Possessing astonishing purity of fruit, notes of blackberry, graphite and exotic flowers on the nose, this full-bodied wine is well concentrated, with great acidity and a great finish. It will evolve gracefully for 6-8 years, if not more." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A great bottle to discover!

Cuvée Fayard opens with beautiful notes of black cherry, strawberry and damp earth on the nose, offering plenty of suppleness on the palate, for a medium-bodied wine that will reveal real versatility in culinary pairings... Everything you'd expect from a good Ventoux!

"Beautifully pure, with hints of citrus blossom, peach and strawberry, Le Ventoux L'Instant Rosé 2013 is concentrated and crisp on the palate, in a tight, refreshing style. Drink it over the coming summer months." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A charming Provence rosé!
