The domain dominates the landscape around the hamlet of Boutenac, enjoying panoramic views. Fontsainte’s vineyards, just 95m in altitude, benefit from a pristine environment (far from industrial or urban developments) plus alternating Mediterranean and oceanic influences.   Domaine Fontsainte uses minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery; their viticultural approach is considered a “lutte raisonnée” practice.  They are certified “Haute Valeur Environnementale”;  a certification supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and verified by independent organizations.  The domaine protects the of biodiversity of flora and fauna in the vineyard and microbial life in the soil (using minimal copper or insecticides), all fertilizer must come from organic matter, and water use must be measured, reduced, or eliminated.
