The Story

Domaine La Fourmone is a family story dating back to 1765. The estate was taken over by the Combe family in 1910. Located in the Dentelles de Montmirail, Marie-Thérèse Combe, 4th generation, and her children, Albin and Florentine, 5th generation, craft terroir-driven and authentic wines in the Vacqueyras and Gigondas Crus. The name “Fourmone” comes from Fromentum (wheat), once grown on the land before the family switched to vitivulture, better suited to the region’s climate. The wheat on the label remains their emblem as a nod to their origins. Committed to preserving biodiversity and reducing their environmental impact, Domaine La Fourmone has been certified organic since 2019.
