Château de Fontenille - Bordeaux Clairet 2022
“Made like a light red wine!”
This Bordeaux Clairet, vinified as a light red wine, is a real curiosity. It offers fruitiness, freshness, and softness—without sacrificing balance and character. The Cabernet Franc from which it is made lends it great elegance. Ideal in the summer, as an aperitif, or paired with cold buffets and grilled meats. A must-try!

About the estate:
By 1290, the Fontenille estate in the Entre-deux-Mers region already had vineyards. Then part of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure, this estate with its clay-siliceous terroir became independent in the 17th century. Since 1998, it has been managed by Stéphane Defraine, who oversees 56 hectares of vineyards—20 planted with white grape varieties and 36 with red—currently in the process of converting to organic farming.
