The wine
The Château de Fontbel wine is aged for 12 months in barrels (30% new oak). The bouquet delivers beautiful aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry and raspberry. The palate is harmonious and flamboyant with its beautiful juice and its long finish. This wine pairs nicely with red meats and certain game.
