Production Notes

Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot Anne has been a family friend and although we typically only import producers not present in the US, we felt compelled to make an exception for this beautiful wine! This is a complex terroir, oriented northwest, made up of small patches of vineyards surrounded by scrublands of pine trees, wild thyme and rosemary, on which grow the 4 varietals of the domaine. Les Fontanilles is a cuvee that combines maturity and freshness and offers a bouquet of red and black fruits, and peppery spices. This wine goes particularly well with grilled meats and barbecues.A vibrant wine. Soils: marl – sandstone – clayey-limestone Surface area: 3 hectares/ 7.4 acres Vines: between 22 and 50 years old Varietals: Syrah – Grenache – Carignan – Cinsault Harvest: by hand Vinification: Burgundian Aging: 50% oak barrels, 50% stainless steel tanks

About the Wine

Anne is a family friend, and though we normally only import producers not already in the US, this wine was worth an exception. From a complex, northwest-facing terroir ringed by pine, wild thyme and rosemary, Les Fontanilles balances maturity and freshness — red and black fruit and peppery spice.
