The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

A sublime red wine from the beautiful Bergerac region. This region, often considered Bordeaux's little brother, is experiencing a resurgence. While it used to produce few high-quality, mass-produced wines, recent years have seen significant investment in this wine region. Bergerac wines are quite similar to the renowned Bordeaux wines: the wine capital of Bordeaux is only an hour and a half away. But Bergerac, and thus Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Red, truly have their own distinct identity. This is precisely why these wines are so incredibly popular.

As you drive through Bergerac, towards the vineyards of Les Fontenelles, you'll spontaneously start daydreaming. What a dazzling region! Small, picturesque villages interspersed with vineyards, laid out like a patchwork quilt across the rolling landscape. With every hill, you'll be amazed by Bergerac's incredible beauty. Chateau Les Fontenelles has been a part of this magnificent region for almost 200 years. The vineyards are situated in the most beautiful locations, where abundant sunshine, perfect soil, and the perfect temperature converge. It's no wonder, then, that Chateau Les Fontenelles Bergerac Red must be a top-notch wine.

The composition of Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Red is classic. It's a beautiful marriage of two powerful grape varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complement each other, though Merlot clearly plays a leading role. This grape gives Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Red its accessibility and fruitiness, while the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon adds body and depth. The exceptional quality of Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Red is immediately apparent upon sipping. You'll clearly smell and taste the intense aromas of plums, blackcurrants, berries, and blackberries. The Cabernet Sauvignon shines through in the finish, which is characterized by a delicate herbal note.
