Jancis Robinson
“A treasure to be carefully stored in the cellar”
“ (Barrel sample) A lovely, fruity nose. Deeper and more concentrated than the Carmina. Firm yet refined tannins, with a slightly chalky finish. Interesting potential. ” (Jancis Robinson 2024). The Fongeant terroir stands on its own thanks to its depth, vigor, and energy. Magnificent, vibrant fruit, a radiant finish, plenty of length and vitality—superb. • Please note: very limited quantities!

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
What a meteoric rise for this up-and-coming winemaker, who has been in business since only 2009. His constant care for his various vineyards and meticulous work in the cellar have enabled him to produce Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte-Rôtie wines that rank among the very best in their respective appellations. In 2020, the Côte-Rôtie Fongeant borders on perfection. The challenge for wine lovers will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Founded in 2008, this winery has been gaining recognition year after year. It has gradually expanded without losing sight of its philosophy: to produce wines with a distinct identity. For reds, the proportion of whole-cluster fermentation varies depending on the cuvée. High-quality aging processes enhance and refine the wines without making them overly smooth. The whites retain their finesse. The quality and consistency of the entire production are remarkable.
