Domaine du Monteillet
Antoine and Stéphane Montez make Fortis in Chavanay, on the northern edge of the northern Côtes-du-Rhône. This cuvée takes its name from ‘Fortis fortuna Fortior’: luck strengthens valour. This was the motto of the estate’s 17th-century owner, Marshal of France under Louis XIV.
