    Product description

    Made by the Gonnet family who has a long and rich history of winemaking in the region and produces refined wines that reflect their terroir.

    This Cuvee was first released in 1988 in homage of Etienne Gonnet who founded the Domaine in the 50’s. Sourced from 90 to 115 years old vines from the plateau of La Crau, this wine is a blend of 70% Grenache,15%  Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre and aged for 18 months in. Deep and concentrated revealing ripe red berry fruits mixed with licorice, bay leaves and spice. This is a fine wine with great ageing potential.

    Awards

    Deep ruby. Pungent red and dark berry aromas unfold slowly with air, picking up suave floral and Indian spice nuances. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet, densely packed black raspberry and rose pastille flavors, becoming spicier and more energetic with air. Shows outstanding depth as well as vivacity and finishes with smooth, velvety tannins and an echo of sappy red fruit.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Domaine Font du Michelle

    Font de Michelle is a beautiful 30 hectares of vineyard located in the South East of Châteauneuf du Pape. Created in 1950 by Etienne Gonnet, the estate has always been run by the family. His sons, Jean and Michel, have taken over the destiny of the estate in 1975. For over 30 years they have improved the winemaking methods to develop full-bodied wines that are concentrated, refined and reflect their terroir. Recently rebranded as ‘Font du Vent’, the estate is now run by third generations Bertrand and Guillaume who bestow their fathers’ enthusiasms and skills. Both oenologists, they have built their winemaking experiences in some of the most prestigious wine regions across the globe. Following the family tradition, they aim to create wines that can be both enjoyed in their youth but also benefit from ageing. The estate has been certified organic since 2013. View our selection.
