Ma Cuvee Rouge Chateau Fontainebleau 2016

Ma Cuvee Rouge Chateau Fontainebleau, biodynamic wine, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon. Ma Cuvee is a delicious natural wine from the Var region of Provence just north of Brignoles. The red is fresh, medium bodied and food friendly, with plenty of red fruits and supple tannins. Great with grilled meats or enjoying on its own. Also very nice served chilled.

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.
