Wine like friendship requires a lot of attention and consideration. We share it like friendship and bread. Talking about wine is like talking about life and when we want to celebrate it, we go and fetch a good bottle. The wines of Chateau de Fontenille deserve to be tasted. They will always be the faithful friends on which you can count when life deserves to be celebrated.

Welcome to Fontenille!
Stéphane Defraine.

The free-draining gravel/clay soils of the Fontenille vineyards and the high winds that keep the grapes healthy contribute to some of the purest wines that Bordeaux can produce. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 110 meters above sea level in the Entre Deux-Mers region between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.

TASTING NOTES
Deep cherry red in colour with aromas of black fruits, dark plum, blackcurrant and black cherry. On the palate it is soft and supple with vibrant black fruit character, good balance, acidity and length.

REVIEWS & AWARDS
“Bordeaux and ‘great value’ are not two phrases usually seen together, but this wine demonstrates both. A soft and supple palate of black fruits with nice acidity and structured tannins it’s everything an honest well made Bordeaux should be.”
