Domaine de Fondrèche
ドメーヌ・ド・フォンドレッシュ
Ventoux estate at Mont Ventoux's foot, with one soil per colour
About Domaine de Fondrèche
Domaine de Fondrèche is a Ventoux estate in Mazan, at the foot of Mont Ventoux in the Southern Rhône, run by winemaker Sébastien Vincenti. The vineyard is divided into three main parcels chosen by colour: the historic Fondrèche plateau of stony, chalky alluvial soils for the reds, sandy and silty soils for the rosé, and chalky soils for the whites. In the cellar the domaine pairs pneumatic presses under nitrogen with amphora and ovoid concrete tanks, and the vineyard work follows the lunar calendar. The range is built around Domaine de Fondrèche rouge, blanc and rosé, with Altineo rouge and blanc as the top cuvées.
Who Is This For?
For drinkers who want a Ventoux that shows a single place across red, white and rosé, and who are curious about amphora and concrete-egg ageing.
