This estate is owned and run by brothers Michel and Jean Gonnet of Domaine Font de Michelle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Gonnet’s own 75 acres of vineyards comprised of almost 170 small plots in and around the appellation. The Font du Vent property is located on the western side of the Rhône, across the river from Châteauneuf, in the village of Domazan. Though appellation Côte du Rhône, they maintain these vines with the same meticulous care afforded to those in their Châteauneuf parcels. Leaf-pulling and crop-thinning keeps yields low and hand-harvesting all the fruit ensures only the best bunches are vinified in the gravity fed winery. This elegant bottling of Côtes du Rhône is a blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. All of the fruit is de-stemmed, and then vinified in tank. The wine is bottled unfiltered. The Font du Vent Les Promesses displays lovely red fruits with notes of crushed black pepper. 14% abv.
