DESCRIPTION

Charles Long first purchased land outside Saint Roman de Malegarde after returning from World War I. His son, Raymond, expanded the vineyards once he started full-time in the business and today, Raymonds sons Bruno (the winemaker) and Daniel (the vineyard manager) are the 3rd generation.

Domaine Fond Croze is truly a family business – any and all of the family are likely to be at the cave when you go to visit. The Longs produce a wide range of honest and unpretentious wines from their 70 hectares. From 2009, Domaine Fond-Croze follows organic methods.

Although it remains warm and enveloping, this Rasteau is surprises by its elegantly dry taste. The palate is fresh, lively, with various notes of black fruits, sweet spices and chocolate.
