Welcome to Chateau de Fontenille
Rising up from the confluence of two great rivers where the land meets the sea, the 2,000-year history of Bordeaux is intertwined with that of its surrounding region. Both in terms of its geography and its spirit.
During colonial times, Bordeaux developed its trade by exporting wine to Saint-Domingue and the Lesser Antilles. England set the trend for fine and full-bodied wines with high ageing potential, in demand by London’s high society set. The first corked and sealed bottles began to appear, gradually replacing tonneau barrels for the transportation of wine
