Domaine de Fontsainte is a pioneering estate in the southern Languedoc, known for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines that combine richness with freshness. Their Corbières Rouge showcases the region’s warm Mediterranean climate and rugged soils while emphasizing elegance and balance over power.

  • WINEMAKER:

  • FARMING: Sustainable practices

  • VARIETY: 60% Carignan, 30% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah 

  • TERROIR: Corbières — hilly, sun-exposed vineyards with limestone, clay, and schist soils; Mediterranean influence provides warmth and long ripening, while elevation and wind maintain freshness.

  • VINIFICATION: Traditional fermentation in stainless steel and concrete vats; native yeasts and gentle extraction preserve aromatic purity.

  • AGING: Aged in a combination of stainless steel and older oak barrels to balance freshness with texture.

  • TASTING NOTES: Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and garrigue herbs with subtle spice and mineral undertones. Medium-bodied with supple tannins, bright acidity, and a persistent, savory finish.

  • FOOD PAIRINGS: Roast lamb, Provençal stews, grilled vegetables, or hard cheeses.
