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.
