DOMAINE FONTANEL

Domaine Fontanel, located in Tautavel, on the foothills of the Corbières, covers 30 hectares, 20 of which are in vines. The production is focused on quality wines with cultivation methods that respect the environment: reasonable treatments, plowing ... the yields are very low, often less than 30 hectoliters per hectare. The wines are vinified in a traditional way, taking into account the contributions. Since 1989, these wines have been recognized in specialist journals in France, abroad and in numerous national competitions. Since 1864, 6 generations of winegrowers have endeavored to perpetuate the ancestral agricultural vocation of this small region in the North of Catalonia and to make the most of a predestined terroir. In 1989, Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil created the Domaine Fontanel, the fruit of the merger of their two families. In 2017, Elodie and Matthieu Collet took over, accompanied by Pierre.
