Winemaker Notes

Wine, like friendship, deserves a lot of attention and consideration. The wines of Chateau de Fontenille deserve to be tasted, commented on and shared with friends and family. Thank you for honoring them.

Fruit and structure are aimed for in the winemaking. 72 hours skin maceration undercold temperature, controlled at 25°C. After 18 months of ageing, blending of 50% from oak barrels –of which 1/3 renewed – and 50% from vat.

A very pleasant ruby color. Elegant and round in the palate with a fine lingering… Well structured and full bodied, this wine represents well the great character and the authentic personality of the great red Bordeaux. Blended with mostly Merlot noir, it’s elegant and harmonious and a great value to share with friends.

It goes well with grilled meat, veal stew and any other stews, poultry and some cheeses.
