and thus contributing to the defence and reputation of these great
wines.

faces of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the little village of Gigondas.
The domaine de font-sane is advantaged by the rich variety of five
different "Terroirs" or soil types
We are proud of the wine-making mission which we have inherited.
Wine is part of our heritage which is why we want to produce a very
high quality product for a demanding and faithful clientele
to whom we guarantee the greatest consistency in the creation of our
wines, so great is our desire
to lovingly defend the great growth that is the Gigondas of the
Domaine de Font-Sane.
