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.

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.
