Fontsainte's Gris de Gris marries the structure and acidity of white wine with delicate red-berry notes and subtle spice, a rosé that satisfies both camps. From Languedoc, it's built for sipping with the kind of backbone that doesn't fade by the glass's end.
About the Producer
The first vineyards at Domaine de Fontsainte, in the Corbières appellation, were planted by the Romans. Artifacts found in these vineyards, such as an old coin dating from the time of Marcus Agrippa in 25 A.D., are a testament to its antiquity. The original domaine was built around a thermal spring, which was later named for the local, twelfth-century patron saint, Saint Siméon; hence Fontsainte—the saint’s fount. Yves Laboucarié’s family has been making wine here since the seventeenth century, and we were lucky to have met him so early on in his career.
