Product Information
This expressive, full-bodied Corbières blends Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, and Marselan from some of the oldest vines on the estate. The nose is fragrant and intense, bursting with blackberries, ripe plums, and sweet spices, underpinned by subtle herbal notes. The palate is juicy and generous, with silky tannins and a fresh, aromatic lift, thanks to careful winemaking techniques like carbonic maceration for the Carignan and gentle fermentation for the Syrah and Marselan. The result is a rich yet elegant red, full of dark fruit, spice, and a lingering, polished finish.
One of the most historic estates in the Languedoc, Château Fontarèche has been crafting wines since 1642 and is now under the stewardship of Jacques De Lamy. Winemaker Vincent Dubernet, a second-generation winemaker, selects fruit from sustainably farmed vineyards on an ancient limestone terrace, where gravel and large pebbles create the perfect conditions for structured yet refined wines. With an ideal mix of Mediterranean sunshine and cooling irrigation, the estate produces beautifully fresh, aromatic wines that capture the heart of Corbières. Perfect for lovers of bold, southern French reds with depth, character, and elegance.
