Price: 150 EUR

A great red from the Alpilles (a new eldorado for fine wines from the south) crafted by Milan, a prominent name in southern viticulture (and organic) and for us a potential successor to the domaine Hauvette at much lower prices. Long aged at the domaine, this 2023 was released from the Fontchêne cellars in 2026. It is ready to drink but will keep for many years in the cellar.

Domaine Fontchêne "Antique" red 2023

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Soil type: Clay-limestone, Rolled Pebbles

Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Merlot, Syrah

Vinification / aging: Hand-picked grapes in 15 Kg crates. Destemming, vatting, and crushing of the grapes.
Delicate extraction through short daily pump-overs. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, grape by grape, at controlled temperature. Maceration for 3 weeks.
Aging in stainless steel tanks for 18 months.

Tasting: With a bright cherry color, this wine presents a very expressive nose of raspberry and sweet spices. The texture is fine and delicate with crunchy fruit and soft tannins. Particularly indulgent, it reveals flavors of blackcurrant, pepper, and a hint of thyme that gives it a refreshing character. With a beautiful tart length, it finishes with a salivating finale. It will be the ideal companion for beef carpaccio, a charcuterie board, or marinated grilled meats. Best enjoyed not too warm, around 14 degrees.
