A close neighbour of Vieux Telegraphe, the family firm of Font Michelle makes red Châteauneuf of substance principally made from their treasured vineyards of Grenache vines of more than 50 years old. According to local archives, the Gonnet family has been settled at Bédarrides since 1600. In 1880 Jean Etienne Gonnet built the farmhouse that serves as the headquarters of the estate today. His grandson, Etienne Gonnet, created Font de Michelle in 1950. This 30 hectare vineyard -adjoining land connected all in one lot
- is magnificently situated in the southeast of the Châteauneuf du Pape AOC.
