Domaine de Fontavin Les Vignes de mon Père 2025
A generous and elegant Rhône red, bursting with ripe fruit, Mediterranean spice and silky, mouth-watering tannins.
🍷 Tasting notes
A generous yet refined southern Rhône red, with an expressive bouquet of ripe raspberry, red cherry and blackberry, complemented by notes of sweet spices, liquorice and Mediterranean herbs. Subtle smoky and peppery nuances add complexity.
The palate is supple and well balanced, combining juicy red and dark fruit with freshness and pleasantly rounded tannins. Grenache provides warmth and generosity, while Syrah, Mourvèdre and Marselan contribute spice, structure and depth. The finish is smooth, savoury and gently spicy.
The producer describes the cuvée as complex and refined, with supple, appetising tannins. As no detailed vintage-specific technical tasting note appears to be publicly available yet, the description above partly extrapolates from the established style and composition of the cuvée.
