The harvest takes place in the cool of the morning, on a plot located at the foot of the Petit Luberon. After total destemming, direct pressing allows for a rapid and precise separation between press juice and free-run juice. A static cold settling of at least 48 hours is carried out before each grape variety begins its individual fermentation in stainless steel tanks, for a minimum period of three weeks at low temperature.
Sulfites: These wines contain sulfites in very limited quantities, less than 30mg/L.
Bottling: These wines are produced and bottled in the heart of the Luberon at our Domaine in Lauris.

FAQs
Do your wines contain sulfites?
Our wines contain sulfites, which are naturally present in wine to protect against oxidation and help ensure the good stability of our wines. The amount of sulfites present in our wines is nevertheless very limited, remaining less than 30mg/L on each of our wines, when the legal framework authorizes the presence of sulfites up to 200mg/L. Our wines therefore do not give headaches to people sensitive to this molecule.
Are your wines organic?
Yes, we are very proud to claim our organic farming certification 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 smoothly because the older generations of Fontenille winegrowers were already kind to their land.
Do you produce sweet wines?
We do not produce sweet or liqueur wines at Domaine de Fontenille. The wine profiles are rather dry and taut, 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 path to follow. This brings complexity to our wines for the greatest pleasure of your taste buds.
