Profile & Story

Domaine des 2 Anes was founded in 2000 by Magali and Dominique Terrier, who left their previous careers to build a new vineyard on the Corbieres terroir at Peyriac-de-Mer, staying true to the two donkeys that had accompanied them - hence the domaine's name. The 20-hectare estate is farmed organically and Demeter-certified biodynamic. Fontanilles is a blend of Carignan, Grenache Noir and Syrah, hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented spontaneously and raised without any oak, letting the fruit and garrigue character of the terroir speak plainly.

Tasting Notes

Ripe and spicy on the nose, with sweet garrigue herbs alongside dark berry fruit, cherry and a touch of smoke. The palate is powerful yet balanced, with a good interplay of acidity and tannin through the finish. Restaurant's Notes: Grapes Carignan, Syrah, Grenache Noir. Crushed Plums, Bing Cherry & a dusting of mineral-infused spice. Notes of sweet herbs and bitter chocolate
