The Fonné family, independent winegrowers since 1747, invite you to discover their estate in the heart of the Kaysersberg valley, just minutes from Colmar. Michel Fonné and his three daughters — Déborah, Sarah and Salomé — manage 17 hectares of vines across a wide range of Alsace terroirs, combining tradition with modern expertise. Thanks to Michel’s international experience and the family’s ambition, Domaine Michel Fonné wines are now enjoyed in more than thirty countries worldwide.

Winemaking

Grapes are usually harvested in September. The harvested fruits are introduced into a pneumatic press where the juice is slowly extracted and then sent to a stainless steel tank. The most important stage then begins : fermentation. This degradation of sugars into alcohol, accomplished by the natural yeasts contained in the grapes, takes place over a few months. The wine thus obtained is then matured on fine lees until bottling.
