Persoonlijke gegevens
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot are two very well-known winemakers from Burgundy who have joined forces in the South of France and started working there; when this top level collaborates, success is guaranteed. The wines of Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot are of high quality and receive wonderful reviews in the press.
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot is situated in the Causse, which is undoubtedly the best part of the Minervois, partly due to its altitude, which varies from 200 m to nearly 500 m. This results in the lowest night temperatures in the Minervois and a slower thermal warming in the spring.
The Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot Les Fontanilles is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault, sourced from the finest plots, all facing northwest and surrounded by thickets of pine trees, wild thyme, and rosemary, on which these four estate varieties grow. It is a so-called field-blend vineyard, meaning all grape varieties are present within the vineyard. The vineyard covers an area of only 3 hectares. Here, the grapes are naturally hand-picked in several cycles; only the perfectly ripened bunches are picked, while those not quite ready are allowed to ripen further. The vines are between 25 and 50 years old and sit on a marl-sandstone-clay-limestone soil. After harvesting, the wine ages for 12 months, and even with this top wine from Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot, the fruit must dominate, so 50% is aged in oak and the remaining 50% 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. Delightful, elegant, and wonderfully balanced.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Les Fontanilles toont rijp rood en zwart fruit met een frisse kruidigheid van tijm en rozemarijn, zachte peperige tonen en een lichte eikenstructuur die het mondgevoel stevig maar elegant houdt. Door die combinatie van sappig fruit, kruidigheid en volle body snijdt hij makkelijk door het vet van rund, varken en lam en versterkt hij gegrild vlees en barbecue doordat de rokerige en carameliserende smaken op het vuur de kruidige en fruitige lagen van de wijn benadrukken; proefondervindelijke topperbereidingen zijn gegrilde ribeye of lamskoteletten met rozemarijn en knoflook en langzaam gegaarde varkensschouder met een lichte barbecuesaus of gekarameliseerde uien. |
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.
