windows opposite the vineyards. These are all part of the quality customer experience<br />
enhanced by authentic hospitality that echoes our inherent spirit. A lot of foreigners who<br />
have a particular soft spot for Provence and France’s gourmet food and wine heritage<br />
also pay us a visit. They come for the quality of the wine, and for our hospitality. This<br />
marketing bonus is a complementary resource for promoting our wines”.<br />
CHÂTEAU DE FONSCOLOMBE: GUARANTEED ENJOYMENT<br />
Located in a splendid setting, Château de Fonscolombe offers an unrivalled experience<br />
combining great facilities, accommodation in a luxury hotel and a tour of a winery<br />
renowned for its excellence. The hotel is designed as a spacious house where every<br />
different part comes together to foster a family spirit, whilst also ensuring everyone’s<br />
privacy. The benchmark vineyards are rooted in Roman times. The very minerally soils<br />
and climate suffuse the wines with a fine, fruity nose, across all three colours. “The cellar<br />
door shop is very well situated in the Durance valley and we have publicised this aspect<br />
of the winery”, stresses Sylvie Hanicotte, head of the winery. “Building work is afoot<br />
with a new winery and cellar door facilities. Visitors come for the quality of the wines<br />
and their price tags. Sixty percent of the wines are sold direct-to-consumers and there<br />
is no let-up in sales”.<br />
