Tasting notes:
Elegant fruity bouquet dominated by ripe red fruits, simple and it is ready from a young age. Intense color and scent, dominated by the fruit and its fleshy structure, and has a richness in flavors supported by a great freshness. Its evolution is marked by a lot of finesse.

The grapes come from 30-35 year old vines in clay/limestone vineyards. Carefull harvesting and sorting ensures the best quality grapes go into the blend. Mceration and fermentation is temperature controlled and the wine is aged in concrete vats for 12 months before bottling.

Chateau Fontvieille is produced by Chateau Beaulieu, a 25 hectare estate in the Côtes de Bourg. Dating back to the 18th century, the estate has firmly established itself as one of the top producers in the region.
