In 1986 when Michel Rolland purchased Chateau Fontenil, his original intentions were to buy a house on the right bank. However, Michel fell in love with the Chateau and the vines, ultimately deciding to continue using the estate for the production of high-quality wines. Rolland spent nearly 13 years renovating and revitalizing the estate. In 2019, Chateau Fontenil became the 1st estate in Fronsac to produce a white Bordeaux. Today, Chateau Fontenil is another sensational estate in Michel portfolio receiving frequent critical acclaim and delighting many Bordeaux lovers around the world. It's your turn to discover another gem from the Rolland Rolodex.
The Estate manages 11 hectares of vines averaging nearly 45 years in age with the majority of plantings dedicated to Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wines are fermented in small wooden and steel vats with a touch of whole cluster fermentation and aged in 100% French oak with 60% new oak influence.
Aging: 15 to 18 months in 100% (60% New) Fench Oak.
