Chateau Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rose

Chateau Les Fontenelles has been active as a winemaker in France for almost 200 years. The chateau is located in Périgord, a region characterized by a string of picturesque villages. Although the winery is only an hour and a half's drive from the wine capital of Bordeaux, it is not part of this renowned wine region. It is part of Bergerac, a hilly wine region with beautiful wines that can sometimes rival those of Bordeaux. This Chateau Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rosé is certainly a prime example. Although rosé wines are not produced as much in this region as in other wine regions, this wine is certainly worth a try.

The grape varieties in Chateau Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rose

For this refreshing, powerful rosé from Château Les Fontenelles, three grape varieties typical of this region were used: the well-known Merlot, the renowned Cabernet Sauvignon, and the characterful Cabernet Franc. All three grape varieties originated in this part of France and have been producing sublime wines here for centuries. To ensure the accessibility of Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rosé, Merlot, which makes up 65% of the wine, takes center stage. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, on the other hand, give this wine the necessary depth.

The scent and taste of Chateau Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rose

For years, Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Rosé has been a crowd-pleaser, particularly due to its exceptional price-quality ratio. Because there's so much quality here! It all starts with the pleasant and seductive aroma. Red fruit tickles your senses: strawberries, raspberries, and red currants.
