Domaine de Fontsainte Corbieres Gris de Gris Rose

• All of Fontsainte’s vineyards are situated within the Corbières Boutenac appellation, however only “Clos du Centurion” takes the appellation on the label; other cuvées take the Corbières appellation

• Rigorous pruning along with green harvests keep yields low

• Existing vines are pruned in gobelet; new vines are being trellised

• Cuves are gravity-fed—a mix of temperature-controlled stainless steel and cement

Corbières “Gris de Gris” Rosé:

• Hand harvested

• Gris de Gris is blend by saignée

• After a 24-hour débourbage, or settling of the must, alcoholic fermentation takes place at cool temperatures for 35 days

• Malolactic fermentation is blocked

• Wines rest for one month before bottling to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity
