“A selection of the estate’s finest terroirs and old vines”

"The Ventoux Altineo 2024, the flagship of the range, boasts a deep purple color and magnificent aromas of red and black fruits reminiscent of Hermitage, along with notes of smoked meat, pepper, and violet. Composed of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, it reveals wonderfully integrated oak, tannins, and acidity, in the estate’s pure and elegant style, and offers a beautiful finish. This is a captivating 2024 from this talented winemaker, which will need 2 to 4 years of bottle aging and will continue to evolve for two decades. Hats off to Sebastian for these two brilliant wines.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

About the estate:

Nanou Barthélemy and her son Sébastien Vincenti purchased this property in 1995, built the winery and regularly upgraded it, and replanted the vineyard—50 hectares of organic vineyards cultivated using biodynamic methods—thus establishing Fondrèche as one of the leading producers in the Ventoux appellation.

About the wine:

Fully destemmed (as is always the case here for all our wines), the Ventoux Altineo 2024, the flagship of the range, boasts a deep purple color and magnificent aromas of red and black fruits reminiscent of Hermitage, along with notes of smoked meat, pepper, and violet. Composed of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, it reveals wonderfully integrated oak, tannins, and acidity, in the estate’s pure and elegant style, and offers a beautiful finish. This is a captivating 2024 from this talented winemaker, which will require 2 to 4 years of bottle aging and will continue to evolve for two decades.
