Domaine de Fondrèche ligger i byen Mazan ved foden af det berømte "
Tour de France" bjerg Mont Ventoux. Domainet blev etableret i 1991 og har blandt kendere hurtigt manifesteret sig som den bedste producent af Ventoux vine. Robert Parker omtaler bl.a. Domaine de Fondrèche på følgende måde:
"The leading reference point estate in the Cotes du Ventoux region, Domaine de Fondreche is run with extraordinary passion and impeccable attention to detail by Sebastien Vincenti."
Domaine de Fondrèche producerer en perlerække af hvid, Rosé og rød Ventoux og drives af den unge og meget passionerede Sebastien Vincenti (billedet), der har stået i god vinøs lære hos André Brunel på
Les Cailloux i Châteauneuf du Pape. Sebastien arbejder kompromisløst på at skabe de bedste og mest naturlige vine bl.a. via sine berømte æggeformede beton cuveer. Domainet vil fra og med 2012 være økologi certificeret (
Agriculture Biologique) og der arbejdes desuden efter visse biodynamiske principper. For yderligere info:

Fondreche, L'Instant Rosé 2011, AOC Ventoux (89 The Rhone Report)
The Rhone Report:
"A textbook dry, Provencal rosé, the 2011 Domaine de Fondrèche Côtes du Ventoux L'Instant’s light salmon color is followed by a juicy, citrus, salty mineral, lime, and rose petal-driven bouquet. Very fresh and clean, with an almost tangy amount of acidity, this aromatic and steely rose screams out for a hot summer day. It should be purchased by the case, and consumed over the coming 1-2 years."

"An outstanding wine, the 2011 Cotes du Ventoux Fayard is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and the rest equal parts Mourvedre and Carignan from limestone soils. Delicious strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of damp earth and crushed chalk are all present in this medium-bodied, richly fruity wine.

Fondreche, Nadal Rouge 2011 (90 The Rhone Report), AOC Ventoux
The Rhone Report:
"Softer and more approachable than the Persia, the 2011 Nadal is a smoking blend of close to equal parts Grenache and Syrah, with a splash of Mourvèdre thrown in for good measure. While both the Syrah and Mourvèdre are aged in French oak, the Grenache is raised all in concrete tanks. Beautifully fresh and fragrant, with creamy cherry and raspberry styled fruit, licorice, spice, and serious floral notes, it flows onto the palate with a rich, yet silky texture that has no hard edges, outstanding purity, and ample length. Despite already being delicious and approachable, it has enough substance and ripe tannin to allow it to drink nicely for 5-7 years, possibly longer."
Pris: 109,00 DKK / flaske
Pris: 99,00 DKK v/6 stk.
Fondreche, Nadal Rouge 2010 (91+ Parker), AOC Ventoux
Robert Parker:
"The 2010 Cotes du Ventoux Nadal is a blend of 45% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre (both aged in small oak barrels) and 45% Grenache (aged in concrete tanks). Its deep purple color is followed by aromas of fresh truffles, licorice, cassis and kirsch. Full-bodied and opulent with good acidity and sweet tannin, this concentrated, impressively long Cotes du Ventoux should evolve for a decade."
Pris: 109,00 DKK / flaske
Pris: 99,00 DKK v/6 stk.
Fondreche, Persia Rouge 2011 (93 The Rhone Report), AOC Ventoux
The Rhone Report:
"A knockout effort and a blend of mostly Syrah (10% Mourvèdre) that’s aged in small barrels, the 2011 Persia has a vibrant, opaque purple color to go with knockout aromatics of sweet black raspberries, violets, creamy licorice, and pepper. Stunningly pure, with a full-bodied, supple, and polished texture, superb acidity, and masses of tannin, this beauty will benefit from short term cellaring, and have upwards of a decade of prime drinking. Gorgeous!"
Pris: 125,00 DKK / flaske
Fondreche, Persia Rouge 2010 (93 Parker), AOC Ventoux
Robert Parker:
"The 2010 Cotes du Ventoux Persia, a blend of 90% Syrah (from 50-year-old vines) and 10% Mourvedre from the estate's finest terroir, is aged in small barrels and 600-liter demi-muids, with at least one year of aging on its lees. Abundant notes of blackberries and cassis interwoven with hints of espresso roast, white chocolate and acacia flowers are found in this tightly knit, full-bodied, impressive 2010. Tasting like a top-flight northern Rhone Hermitage rather than a wine from the Cotes du Ventoux, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep for 15 years thereafter."
Pris: 125,00 DKK / flaske
Fondreche, Il Etait Une Fois 2010 (94 The Rhone Report / 93 Parker), AOC Ventoux
Robert Parker:
"The 2010 Cotes du Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois is a 500-case lot composed of 80% old vine Grenache (planted in 1936), 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. The Grenache is aged in cement tank and the Syrah and Mourvedre in new oak barrels. Extremely ripe and concentrated, it exhibits super-intense black cherry and black raspberry notes intertwined with even blacker fruits in the mouth. Full-bodied, opulent and voluptuously textured, it over-delivers by a considerable amount given its humble origin. Drink this sensational, world-class, dry red wine over the next decade. Bravo!"
Pris: 225,00 DKK / flaske
Fondreche, Il Etait Une Fois 2009 (93 Parker), AOC Ventoux
Robert Parker:
"There are only 400 cases of the outstanding 2009 Cotes du Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois, a blend of 80% Grenache from 80-year-old vines, 15% Mourvedre from 20-year-old vines, and 5% Syrah from 15-year-old vines, all aged in new oak. This cuvee takes intensity about as far as you can with Cotes du Ventoux. A tour de force in winemaking, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as copious aromas of licorice, spring flowers, sweet black raspberries and black cherries, pepper and roasted herbs. Broad and voluptuously textured, with a cascade of fruit evident in its multidimensional mouthfeel, the tannins are there, but there is so much fruit and richness that they are largely concealed. Drink this beauty over the next 5-10 years."
