About the estate:

Gaëlle and Florian met in Burgundy and decided to settle in the Languedoc in the early 2010s. After several years of searching, the Franco-German couple settled in Fontjoncouse, where they cultivate plots of old vines. The wine is carefully aged in barrels. A promising new force in this wild and stony part of the Corbières. This is a winery with a bright future!
