Domaine La Fourmone, Le Fauquet, Aop Gigondas, Red
Domaine la Fourmone is a multi-generational domaine run by Marie-Thérèse Combe and her daughter, Florentine and son, Albin. The property dates back to the mid-1700’s when it originally grew wheat. Here, viticulture is organic and winemaking is traditional.
The story
The Fourmone wines are the humble witnesse to natural characteristics. 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.
Vinification
Aged in half-muids for 12 months.
