Domaine La Fourmone, Fleurantine, AOP Vacqueyras, White
Just as with humans, walls have stories. The stories of the estate date back to 1765. The Fourmont family was the founder of what became the family farmhouse. The family successors allowed the Combe family to take over since 1910, over 5 generations. The Fourmone draws its roots from the Latin word « Fromentum » which means wheat.`
Presentation
Provence is the soil of the Combe’s vineyards. It offers the essential raw material for their development: clay-limestone soil, dry wind, warm sun and moderate rain drops on their vine stocks. Concrete vats are used for the fermentation and ageing of the reds. A very small percentage of the white Vacqueyras and the old vine cuvées red are aged in 600 litre demi-muids, so there is next to no oak flavour influence on the wines.
Winemaking
Traditional vinification in stainless steel vat.
