Domaine de Fondreche Ventoux Blanc 2023

Domaine de Fondreche sits on a high plateau near Mazan at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The secret is the mountain – it creates strong air currents and dramatic temperature swings between hot days and cool nights, allowing grapes to achieve full ripeness while retaining crucial acidity and freshness.

To make things even better – the vineyards sit on stony, chalky, and sandy-clay soils farmed organically with biodynamic practices. The unique microclimate produces whites with a juicy elegance that feels more Burgundian than Southern Rhône. Dunnuck describes it as “medium-bodied, with remarkable purity and integrated acidity.” That’s spot on the money.
