Château de Fontenelles
Château de Fontenelles produces wines from Corbières, the rugged appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon where Mediterranean heat and limestone soils shape bold, structured reds. The estate works with the region's classic varieties—Mourvedre, Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache—blending them into wines of depth and mineral character. Renaissance Corbières and Notre Dame Corbières, both built on Mourvedre and Carignan foundations with Syrah and Grenache, represent the winery's core expression. A single-varietal Cuvée Notre Dame Corbières, crafted from Syrah alone, offers a focused take on the appellation's potential. Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator have assessed the portfolio, reflecting the quality standards at work in these southern French blends.
