"For the beautiful moments of conviviality!"
Made from old Grenache and Roussanne vines, this Côtes du Roussillon explores a broad palette of aromas (peach, acacia, pear). The barrel ageing brings brioche and caramel notes as well as a lovely roundness. A perfect match for grilled white meats and fish.

Domain rated (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
The origins of the estate, where 6 generations have succeeded one another, date back to 1864. The estate boasts a 25-hectare vineyard planted on a variety of terroirs. Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil have been at the helm of the estate since 1989, and for almost 30 years they have been producing wines with strong personalities, both dry and vins doux naturels. In 2017, they sold the estate to a young winemaking couple, Élodie and Matthieu Collet.
