Description
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot, two renowned Burgundy winemakers, have joined forces in the South of France and started working there. If this top-level collaboration is achieved, success is guaranteed. Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot's wines are of high quality and receive excellent reviews in the press.
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot is located in the Causse, which is undoubtedly the best part of the Minervois, partly due to its altitude, which ranges from 200 m to almost 500 m. This results in the lowest nighttime temperatures in the Minervois and a slower thermal warm-up in spring.
The Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot Les Fontanilles is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault, sourced from the finest plots, all northwest-facing, surrounded by thickets of pine, wild thyme, and rosemary, where these four varieties grow. It's a field-blend vineyard, meaning all the grapes are grown in the vineyard. The vineyard covers only 3 hectares. The grapes are naturally hand-picked in cycles, so only the perfectly ripe bunches are picked, while those that are not yet ripe are allowed to ripen further. The vines are between 25 and 50 years old and lie on pith-sandstone-clay-limestone soils. After harvest, the wine ages for 12 months. Even with this top-quality wine from Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot, the fruit must dominate, so 50% is aged in oak, while the remaining 50% remains in stainless steel. Les Fontanilles is a cuvée that combines ripeness and freshness, offering a bouquet of red and black fruit and peppery spices. This wine pairs particularly well with grilled meats and barbecues. Delicious, elegant, and wonderfully balanced.

Notes of Mediterranean herbs, spices, dark berries, mulberries and flowers preface the 2023 Minervois Les Fontanilles, a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered wine framed by elegant, sweet tannins, culminating in a long, spicy and mineral finish. This is a classic in the making.

Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot are two very well-known winemakers from Burgundy and have joined forces in the South of France and have started working there and if this top level works together then success is assured. The wines of Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot are of high quality and receive wonderful reviews in the press. Dark, smooth wines, convincing and very well made. The use of very old vines gives these wines an unprecedented dimension and depth. We can highly recommend the wines from this house and we are convinced that you will not be as enthusiastic as we are.
The wines they make come from the sub-region de Minervois. The Minervois is one of the largest wine producing areas in the Languedoc Roussillon. From nearly 15,000 hectares of vines, 5,000 of which are intended for the production of AOC wines, the wide range of vins de table, vins de pays and wines from single grape varieties is completed by three different AOCS: the AOC Minervois, the AOC Minervois - La Livinière and the Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois. The Minervois appellation is divided into 5 different zones: the balconies of the Aude, the Causse, the Mourels, the Petit Causse and the Terrasses.
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot is located in the Causse which is without a doubt the best part due to its altitude, which varies from 200 m to almost 500 m. This results in the lowest nighttime temperatures in the Minervois and a slower thermal warming in the spring. The semi-mountainous climate of this zone is also characterized by heavier and more regular rainfall than in the Minervois in general. Another important feature of the Causse is the predominance of calcareous soils, which can lead to a very stony surface. Whether the stone is hard or soft, the whiteness it imparts to the soil indirectly heats the plants and grapes through radiation.
The wines of the Causse are often more lively than in the other zones and are characterized by its freshness and its mouth after tannins that take two to three years to soften.
