Max. per order: 12
Côtes du Rhône, France / A joint project between Frédéric Engerer of Château Latour and Jérôme Malet, a vine grower from the Roussillon, Domaine de Fontbonau is a newer property, but hardly timid. Their purported goal is to achieve the best Côtes du Rhône in the world, and they’ve chosen a 42-hectare property in the Enclave des Papes to make this dream come true. Childhood friends, Jérôme and Frédéric were each enamored of the wine industry and pursued careers in this sphere separately. Their friendship continued over the years and eventually they joined forces, founding Domaine de Fontbonau in 2008. The estate of Fontbonau produces not only wine, but also olives, lavender, honey, and truffles. The farming is all organic, and the team at Fontbonau has worked to restore the estate’s historic vineyards and to plant further varieties there too
