- Winemaking
A dry and fruity rosé with a gourmet feel, perfect to accompany your summer evenings!
The manual harvest, carried out in the cool of the morning, begins with a careful selection of plots located at the foot of the Petit Luberon. Whole clusters of Syrah are pressed directly, with meticulous separation of press and drop juice. Static cold settling for at least 48 hours follows, before each grape variety ferments separately in 500L Austrian barrels, for a minimum of three weeks at low temperature.
Sulphites: This wine contains sulphites in very limited quantities less than 30mg/L.
Bottling: This wine is produced and bottled in the heart of the Luberon in our Domaine in Lauris.

FAQs
Do your wines contain sulphites?
Our wines contain sulphites, which are naturally present in wine to protect against oxidation and help guarantee the good stability of our wines. The quantity of sulphites present in our wines is nevertheless very limited, remaining below 30mg/L in each of our wines, when the legal framework authorizes the presence of sulphites up to 200mg/L. Our wines therefore do not give a headache for people sensitive to this molecule.
Are your wines organic?
Yes, we are very proud to claim our certification in organic farming for over 10 years. The transition of our vines was initiated by Frédérique Biousse and Guillaume Foucher following their acquisition of Domaine de Fontenille in 2013 and was carried out gently because the older generations of Fontenille winegrowers were already kind to their land.
Do you produce sweet wines?
We do not produce sweet or sweet wines at Domaine de Fontenille. The wine profiles are rather dry and tense, in keeping with the expression of our limestone and mineral terroir.
Do you produce varietal wines?
We have chosen to focus on the history of the appellation. We believe that respecting the region's tradition of blending several grape varieties is the way to go. This brings complexity to our wines for the greatest pleasure of your taste buds.
