from ancient vineyards planted by the Romans, made by a family newbies there only since the 17th century. whole cluster fermentation used here gives the "squozed" black berry fruit flavor and whisper soft tannin grip that you do not feel but instead perceive only as dryness on the finish, keeping the ripenesss from becoming sweet. sweet stuff! As good of a Corbieres as I have tasted, I bet as good as there is.
90 Points, Rhett Beiletti
The original domaine was built around a thermal spring, which was later named for the local, twelfth-century patron saint, Saint Siméon; hence Fontsainte-the saint's fount. Yves Laboucarié's family has been making wine here since the seventeenth century, and we were lucky to have met him so early on in his career. For over thirty years, KLWM has been proudly importing his wine, and now we work with his son, Bruno. Like his father, one of the first vignerons working with whole cluster fermentation in the region, he believes strongly in the family's legacy of innovation.
