The Story

Domaine Font Sarade is located in the South of France, in Vacqueyras, a small Provencal village protected by the Dentelles de Montmirail, a stone's throw from the picturesque village of Gigondas. The story begins in 1936, with René Devine, who cultivates 10 hectares of vines and sells his wine in barrels to local wine merchants. His son André took over in 1983, and gave the name Font Sarade to the estate, which means "Closed Fountain" or "Dry Quarter" in Provencal. His daughter Agnès joined him in 2002, and married Bernard, also from a winemaking family. Together they have two daughters, Claire and Laure, who also work on the estate: Claire made her first wine in 2014.
