Domaine Font Du Vent Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

Today, Bertrand and Guillaume proudly continue their fathers’ legacy by producing wine in their style, but are also making their own mark. They have enhanced the elegance and style of the wine via their commitment to understanding the terroir in terms of how it affects the ripening process and introducing improvements to the production process. After recently expanding their land holdings to include additional lieu dit, the Gonnet family decided to rebrand their Domaine Font de Michelle, Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines under their family brand Font du Vent.

An important initiative for the winery was the natural shift to organic agriculture. The domaines Font de Michelle and Font du Vent had been operating organically for years, so it was a logical next step to apply for organic certification. Their vines have been in the family for over four generations, and organic farming signifies their commitment to passing on healthy vineyards to the next generation. Within their vineyards, co-planting is common, which is important to the Gonnet family. They are also incorporating more Biodynamic principles into their viticulture, but do not currently plan on pursuing certification.
