WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine de Fondrèche Divergente is a premium wine produced by Domaine de Fondrèche, a renowned winery located in the Ventoux appellation of the Rhône Valley in France. The vineyard features a unique terroir with limestone and clay soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, with a rich and complex flavor profile that showcases notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Divergente is a full-bodied and elegant wine that is perfect for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This bold and complex red blend from Domaine de Fondrèche is a fantastic example of the Rhone Valley.Intense aromas of blackberry, black pepper, and smoked meat give way to a palate of ripe cherries, spices, and leather. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is long and intense.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine de Fondrèche

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
