Primard 2019
- Description
- Winemaking
For its first edition, this Primard vintage from the Le Champ des Lunes plot located in Cucuron reveals animal and solar notes characteristic of the 2018 vintage, embodying a resolutely sunny wine. The expression of the Luberon terroir at its peak.
The harvest, carried out in the cool of the night on a plot located at the foot of the Petit Luberon, begins with a careful selection. After complete destemming, direct pressing ensures precise separation between press and free juice. A static cold settling of at least 48 hours precedes the individual fermentation of the grape varieties, carried out 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.

Tasting notes
Garnet red dress.
The nose transports you to the Luberon mountains. The scrubland, violet and black fruits invite you for a stroll.
The mouth is silky and generous. The tannins are fine and polished, the fruit of the work done in the tuns.
The final note of jammy black fruits and acidity reveal a aging potential of more than 10 years, its evolution towards kirsch and jammy notes, a synonym of excellence.
Serve at 17°C.
Decant when young, keep in the cellar for more than 10 years.
Food & Wine Pairings
The power and amplitude of the Cuvée Primard will perfectly accompany grilled or sauced meats. Syrah also goes perfectly with desserts based on chocolate and stewed red fruits. Piece of matured beef, wine sauce, paschal lamb, veal with olives... Treat yourself.
Don't forget to decant it before tasting it, or to decant it well when it is young!

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.
