Founded in 1950 by Etienne Gonnet, the Font de Michelle winery began with 30 hectares of vines located just southeast of the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. After the passing of their father in 1970, brothers Jean and Michel took the reins, dedicating over three decades to refining their winemaking techniques. In 2002, the family expanded their estate with an additional 20 hectares in Côte du Rhône Village Signargues, rebranding as Font du Vent to reflect their family heritage. The Gonnet family is committed to crafting organic wines that truly express their unique terroir.
In 2016, the next generation took charge as Bertrand and Guillaume, sons of Jean and Michel, stepped into leadership roles. Both equipped with degrees in viticulture and enology, they traveled globally to enhance their understanding of soil and vine management. While preserving traditional winemaking practices and family values, they introduced modern techniques to elevate wine quality. Since 2013, the estate has transitioned to organic farming, earning official certification for their commitment to sustainable practices.
Famille Gonnet welcomes visitors to experience the beauty of the Rhône Valley and its celebrated appellations. Guests can enjoy informative wine tastings while taking in the stunning vineyard landscape, making it a perfect stop for wine enthusiasts and travelers alike.

After visiting the Papal Palace in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the goal was clear – to bring home some wine. By chance, we stumbled upon this charming little shop, where we were warmly welcomed and treated to a small tasting of their products. If only I had a bigger cooler in the car, I would have bought more – their wine is fantastic!

Thank you Pierre for an excellent introduction to Châteauneauf-du-Pape. We stumbled across this little shop in our first few minutes in town and we’re so glad we stopped in. A super informative tasting with a passionate host - and most importantly, great wines! What more could we ask for?!

Thank you to Pierre for all the explanations, the wines are excellent, I recommend them, they are organic, with a Côte du Rhône Fait du Vent at 10 € and the Château Neuf du Pape 2021 at 25 €. Do not hesitate to ask Pierre, I now know why the bottle is shaped. And marked either with the coat of arms of the castle or the miter and keys of the Pope... Enjoy tasting everyone...
