French Sleeper


Hey Out There in Wine Drinking World


This one will knock your socks off! Domaine de Fondreche, Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. (We don't need to get into all this right now, just write the name down and take off to your local wine shop with about $7 in your pocket and you will be happier than a fat pig in a mud puddle!


This is a Rhone wine from the wine maker Sebastien Vincenti (One of his lesser wines but packed with value) He bought the property in 1991 at the time he finished his oenological education. The former owner had delivered the grapes to a local cooperative and there were no cellars at the estate. Since then cellars have been added and wines are happening!


Vaucluse is near Provence France and that is where the grapes were grown for this wine. Light fruit on the palate with a pleasant nose of lavender with a touch of honey. One of the great many values from this area of Southern France!


Cheers!
