Like any good story, it has a love story at its heart. In this case, that of Martine Clerc and Michel Chouvet, wich started back in the 70’s.Following in the footsteps of her father, Hélène Chouvet Coton became an oenologist and started working with her parents in 1996. Since then she has continued along her chosen route and now manages the domaine.

Domaine de Fontavin, which has 45 hectares in 8 communes, is not unlike a bunch of grapes. it is a single structure yet one composed of multiple offshoots.

Behind each appellation, each terroir, there is the imprint left by the grandparents.


In Vacqueyras, in Gigondas, in Beaumes de venise and in Châteauneuf du Pape, there are the parcels of vines planted by those who have gone before, but more than that, there are the memories : the blue house with the palm trees, the sheep barn and wash house, the cake served at tea time.

Hélène’s wines are the distillation of family memory and the expression of her own sensibility !
