Domaine de Fontvive Cotes du Rhone France 2023 Big Bottle named for the Trier cathedralFontvive is a label of Domaine de Boissan, the Bonfils family estate in Sablet where fifth generation vigneron Christian Bonfils farms some fifty hectares at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the whites certified organic and the reds in conversion. The Ctes du Rhne rouge draws on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvdre in the house's traditional, fruit first style: a lightly spicy nose with a hint of violets, ample red fruit, and a clean, fresh finish.
