Press review: Bright, quite full red. There is a discreet air of raspberry liqueur leading the nose, crushed red berries. There’s a note of toffee, a little sweetness. It’s a rounded and nicely inviting intro. The palate rolls along with gracious red fruits, neat, precise tannins, takes an en finesse route. This is stylish, restrained and pure Gigondas based on elegant Grenache fruit, and comes with good balance. 4 stars (****)."John Livingstone-Learmonth - drinkrhone.com
Domaine Saint-Gayan Fontmaria's history is not just a story, it's a legacy rooted in the value of water in Provence almost a century ago. Maria, the great-grandmother, purchased a beautiful hill with a precious spring flowing through its heart at a high cost. Her remarkable water supply works enabled the Domaine Saint Gayan's development and progress.
Even today, the spring flows constantly, and the vines planted at an altitude of 200 meters on the hillside possess an ideal North-West exposure to the climate.
To honor Maria, the Fontmaria cuvée is crafted from the grapes of these vines. The sloping hillside has natural drainage and deep-water reserves, allowing it to withstand even the driest conditions. The grapes' later maturity results in a remarkably complex and nuanced cuvée.
