Château de Fontenille Bordeaux Rouge 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
The vines of Château de Fontenille have flourished on gravel terroirs bathed in generous sun
since the 13th century. Hidden among the vineyards was a pilgrimage route to the neighboring
Benedictine monastery, Abbaye de la Sauve Majeure, whose monks tended to the vines for
hundreds of years. With nearly 80 acres dedicated to Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet
Sauvignon, the history of this site is alive in the gravel and clay dominated soils that contribute
to the complexity of the Château de Fontenille Bordeaux Rouge. Composed of mostly Merlot,
this wine is elegant, harmonious and the perfect value to share with friends.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
A very pleasant ruby color, Château de Fontenille Bordeaux Rouge is elegant and round on the
palate with a fine, lingering finish. Well structured and full bodied, this wine represents the
character and the authentic personality of the great red Bordeaux.
