Why it matters
The producer
Fortant de France is one of Skalli's biggest labels. Maison Fortant is part of the Boisset group, works with winegrower partners across Languedoc, and follows a terroir focused philosophy with a commitment to sustainable development.
The bottles put grape varieties in their names. Pinot Noir Réserve Maison Fortant, Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Nuit Maison Fortant, and Grande Nuit Sauvignon Blanc carry the varietal direction that has defined Fortant's range since its French single varietal releases.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Fortant's headquarters are in Sète, on the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc. Its partnerships with winegrowers extend across the region, while the named wines use VdP d'Oc or Pays d'Oc designations.
These regional categories sit beside the grape names on the labels. Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc remain visible as the primary markers of the three wines.
Wines to know
The range in view
The named range includes two red wines and one white. Pinot Noir Réserve Maison Fortant is the Pinot Noir bottling, while Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Nuit Maison Fortant brings Cabernet Sauvignon into the red range. Grande Nuit Sauvignon Blanc is the white wine built around Sauvignon Blanc.
The two reds are 2024 bottlings, and Grande Nuit Sauvignon Blanc is a 2023 wine. Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Nuit contains 0.7 g/100ml of sugar, giving the bottle a clearly stated dry profile.
