In a few words ...
A concert of aromas orchestrated by fresh flowers, citrus, white peaches and pears. The symphony is very intense from the very first measure, tempered by notes of quince and honey that add a touch of sweetness to the nose. On the palate, the attack is soft and graceful. The aromatic intensity rises to a crescendo, reaching a climax on the mid-palate, before giving way to roundness and beautiful length.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Clear, pale yellow color.
Aroma
A bouquet of fresh white flowers and citrus fruits, offering themselves fully and lightly. Acacia, jasmine and hawthorn reign over a nose that doesn't shy away from a touch of honey.
Wine Dry | Floral | Fruity
Taste
The palate is not to be outdone. It is enveloping and gives the sensation of biting into a fleshy white peach. The finish brings contrast to the whole with its tension and minerality.

Domaine de Fontenille
Domaine de Fontenille is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 5 wines available to purchase, including the wine Fontenille 2018.
Appellation
Luberon
The appellation Luberon is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine de Fontenille and its 5 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
