    In a few words ...

    The hand-picked grapes are de-stemmed and crushed before being placed in vats for a fairly long period of around 21 days. Twice-daily pumping-over infuses the pomace with the must, bringing color, structure and aroma. A year's ageing in barrels brings about an exchange with the wood, to coat the tannins and develop the aromas of spices and vanilla.

    Appellation

    Vacqueyras

    The appellation Vacqueyras is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine Fontaine du clos and its 13 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..
