Description / Reviews
// 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
"From diverse terroirs, ranging from clay-limestone to clay-loam, each soil brings its own unique signature to the cuvée. This richness of terroir gives the wine remarkable complexity and depth, echoing the richness of our winegrowing heritage.
On the nose, the cuvée reveals a generous aromatic palette, dominated by intense notes of red and black fruits. On the palate, the wine reveals itself in all its splendor. Supple, round and full-bodied, it envelops the palate with smoothness and richness. Red and black fruits mingle harmoniously, enhanced by a tannic presence on the finish, which is neither aggressive nor bitter. This cuvée is the expression of a perfect balance between power and finesse." - Chateau Fontbonne, Winemaker
"Château Fontbonne currently covers 30 hectares of vines. These 30 ha are scattered in 3 islets within a 15km radius. These are located in the communes of Faleyras and Blésignac, which are grouped around the Château, then Ruch and finally Blasimon. This is a real asset for the estate. We have a diversity of terroirs, which enables us to manage our grape varieties in the best possible way. What's more, it's a real asset in the face of climatic hazards such as frost, hail or storms." - Convivium, Importer
