Ventoux Rouge, Domaine de Fondrèche, Rhône, France, 2023

Producer Profile

Sébastien Vincenti of Domaine de Fondrèche is widely recognised as one of the two best producers in Ventoux and to make things even better, he keeps a reasonable pricing policy despite his ever-increasing reputation and growing international demand.

His wines from his 38ha domaine are very polished and seductive, yet he always aims to improve his technique. Sébastien is moving to organic culture and uses specific canopy management in order to produce ripe rich wines, with an overall harmony being the key. This estate follows environmentally conscientious philosophies, with discipline and rigour aimed at a low-interventionist approach. “One of the leading estates in the up-and-coming Ventoux appellation is unquestionably Sebastien Vincenti and Manou Barthelemy’s Domaine de Fondreche.” Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate December 2016
