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 heat emanating from the courtyard of the winery, the hot stones of the estate, the limited shade offered by the Virginia creeper. It is also the long summer evenings, the first song of the Cicada in June, summer holidays, and the hundred-year-old plane trees sheltering the walls of the farm house. The Fourmone wines are the humble witnesses to all these natural characteristics. The offer the olfactory balance of this place with its balance of heat and humidity. This region of Provence is thyme, rosemary, broom and pine fragrances.
