Chateau de Fontenille Bordeaux Rose 2018 750 ML

Dark garnet red colour. Pure and ripe nose offering a hint of new oak, butterscotch, sweet plum and red berries. Rather full palate, still a youthful texture and young but ripe tannin, some sage flavours with crushed berries and fine length.

Producer Information

Chateau de Fontenille is located very near the Abbey of La Sauve Majeure on gravel land bathed in generous sun. In the 4th century when the poet Ausone was praising the wines of the region, there was a villa at the nearby called “Font e Melha” of which some ruins still remain today. The vineyards cover 42 hectares, 30 of which are red and 12 are white grapes. The soils are clay and limestone with some gravel. The wines are vinified traditionally with controlled tempratures and aged in 50% new oak for the reds.
