Font du Vent Les Promesses Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023 from Famille Gonnet is a juicy, medium‑bodied southern Rhône red that overdelivers for the price, dripping with vibrant red and black fruits, savoury spice and that tell‑tale garrigue lift. This Domaine Font du Vent Les Promesses Rouge 2023 is built mainly from Grenache with Syrah in support, hand‑picked, fermented for 15–20 days, then aged about 12 months in stainless steel and concrete to keep it bright, supple and thoroughly drinkable.

In the glass you’ll find aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant with salami, black olive, liquorice, anise and cracked pepper, all dusted in dried herbs and wild scrub. The palate is medium‑bodied and wonderfully rich without being heavy, with loads of blackberry and red fruits, a lick of spice and garrigue and soft but present tannins giving Font du Vent Les Promesses Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023 a smooth, moreish finish. It’s an easy, tasty Rhône red that absolutely nails “bistro” drinking.

Font du Vent Les Promesses Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023 is a natural with grilled sausages, burgers, lamb chops or pizza, where its fruit and peppery spice play perfectly with char and fat. It also works brilliantly with roast chicken, pasta ragù or a simple plate of charcuterie and hard cheese, making it a versatile southern Rhône all‑rounder for everything from weeknight pasta to relaxed Sunday lunches.
