History
The Gonnet family have been
farmers in Bedarrides for about 400 years.
In 1880 Jean Etienne Gonnet settled down at the place where the
domain is situated today. In 1950 his grandson Etienne Gonnet
named the domain Domaine Font de Michelle.
1975-2011 Jean
and Michel Gonnet ran the domain.
In 2011 their sons Guillaume and Bertrand Gonnet got the responsability.
The domain covers 30 ha in Chateauneuf du Pape,
of which 2,5% are with white varieties. They are situated in the
lieux-dits Font de Michelle, La Crau, La Pierre Plantée,
Chartreuse and Croix de Bois.
Since 2013 the vineyards have been certified agriculture
biologique.
In 2002 20 ha in Gard were purchased. They are situated in the area which in 2005 became Cotes du Rhone Village Signargues.
