• GROWER INFORMATION↓↑

  Owned by Jean-Louis Bouchard, with winemaking overseen by Valerie Courreges, Chateau Fontainebleau was a forgotten plot of vineyard gold until 2009.

  Since then, using biodynamic principles, the vines have been revived and winemaking has begun again. The 27ha of vines benefit from a natural amphitheatre and a unique terroir of red pelite, to create wines of finesse and quality that are typically Provencale. Due to the vineyard's configuration, the grapes can only be picked up by hand. This enables the domain to harvest parcels separately, letting others continue to ripen, and thus improving the production quality.

    This wine is delicious. What can I say? I have paired it with many and varied dishes short of fish....and a curried fish would take it too! It is smooth and revealing with lots of gentle fruity tones. It can be drunk young.....and will certainly not age in my house! An all-round favourite at a reasonable price...low sulphite too. Did I order enough I wonder?
