2023 Fontanet Blanc

The 2023 Fontanet Blanc is a fresh and expressive southern French white that showcases the vibrant character of Mediterranean grape varieties. Produced from sustainably farmed vineyards, the wine is crafted in a bright, unoaked style that emphasises purity of fruit, freshness and regional character. The warm climate is balanced by careful harvesting and winemaking, resulting in a white that is both aromatic and wonderfully approachable.

The nose reveals citrus blossom, white peach and pear alongside notes of lemon zest, fresh herbs and subtle floral aromas. The palate is crisp and lively, combining ripe orchard fruit with refreshing acidity and a gentle mineral edge. Hints of grapefruit, honeysuckle and citrus peel add complexity, while the finish remains clean, bright and beautifully balanced. The 2023 vintage offers excellent freshness and immediate appeal.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A vibrant and versatile white that is perfect for everyday enjoyment. Fresh, aromatic and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, salads, roast chicken and Mediterranean cuisine. Serve well chilled and enjoy over the next 2–4 years while its bright fruit and refreshing character are at their peak.
