Co-exhibitor of SYNDICAT DE L'AOC CORBIERES
In the heart of an exceptional landscape protected by the Corbières hills, near Narbonne (Aude -11), the wines of Fontfroide carry within them the secrets of 1000 years of history. The vineyard certified HVE3 and Terra Vitis, in AOP Corbières and IGP Pays d'Oc has developed around this jewel of Roman architecture: the Cistercian abbey located in Cathar land. First raised to provide each monk with the daily ration recommended by the rule of Saint Benedict, his wines gradually became imbued with the values of the men who produced them: traditional work in the vineyard, sharing in the welcome and , of course, spirituality. Laure de Chevron Villette, now at the head of the 45ha estate, has laid the foundations of the current range and in particular the flagships that we know: Ocellus and Deo Gratias with the ambition of making Fontfroide Wines one of the oenological jewels of Languedoc, made of finesse, freshness and fruit. To discover the range of wines from the Abbey of Fontfroide is to penetrate a preserved terroir of plains and fragrant scrubland, it is to meditate in the galleries of the cloister where the chirping of birds enchants the silence, it is finally to approach a form universal absolute in bliss.
