Château Fontesteau Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Supérieur AC 2019 is an expressive gourmet wine from the traditional Haut-Médoc, one of the most renowned wine-growing regions in Bordeaux. The vines grow on gravelly soils with limestone and clay, which give the grapes a special finesse and structure. The Château Fontesteau vineyard, known for its sustainable cultivation, produces a great red wine that harmoniously combines elegance and power.

In the glass, the wine is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The nose reveals a complex interplay of aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries and ripe cherries, accompanied by subtle hints of violets, cedar wood and roasted cocoa beans. It is full-bodied on the palate, with a fine tannin structure, well-integrated acidity and a long, spicy finish with notes of licorice and tobacco.

The grapes are carefully selected and vinified traditionally. Château Fontesteau Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Supérieur AC 2019 was matured in 75% barrique barrels, 20% of which were new. This gave it additional depth and elegance. The perfect balance of fruit and wood makes it accessible at a young age, but also gives it good ageing potential.

This dry red wine is an excellent accompaniment to classic French dishes such as bœuf bourguignon, rack of lamb or duck breast. It is also an excellent choice with strong cheeses or grilled beef.

For best enjoyment, a serving temperature of 16-18 °C is recommended.

Château Fontesteau

Château Fontesteau liegt im Haut-Médoc, unweit von Paulliac inmitten seiner Weinberge, und ist eines der traditionellen Weingüter mit der Klassifizierung „Cru Bourgeois“.

Château Fontesteau geht zurück auf das Jahr 1277. Über dem Eingang befindet sich noch heute der gekrönte Salamander, das Wappen aus der Zeit des französischen Königs Francois 1., der unter anderem auch die großen Loire Schlösser Blois und Chambord erbauen ließ.

Von dem 100 Hektar umfassenden Besitz werden heute etwa 35 Hektar unter der Leitung von Dominique und Jean-Christophe Barron bewirtschaftet. Um kontinuierlich hohe Qualität zu garantieren, wird beim Ausbau der Weine moderne Technik mit traditionellen Methoden verbunden. Die einzigartige Konstruktion des 1997 erbauten Barrique-Kellers von Château Fontesteau garantiert während des ganzen Jahres ein natürliches, gleichbleibendes Klima - ideale Reifebedingungen für edle Rotweine. Die gut strukturierten Rotweine des Château Fontesteau werden im Barrique ausgebaut. Feine Röst- und Vanilletöne fügen sich harmonisch in das breite Spektrum edler Fruchtaromen ein und verleihen den Weinen ein gutes Alterungspotenzial. Je nach Jahrgang sollte Château Fontesteau noch 2-3 Jahre in der Flasche reifen, bevor er seine Trinkreife erreicht. Große Jahrgänge wie der 2000er oder 2001er entwickeln sich zehn und mehr Jahre.

Product recommendation

Château Malescasse Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois AOP 2014

2020 wurde Château Malescasse in den Rang eines Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel gehoben, die höchste Stufe, die es innerhalb dieser Klassifikation zu erreichen gilt."Schuld" daran dürfte auch der 2014 Malescasse sein, der als erster Jahrgang unter Mitwirkung des Star-Önologen Stéphane Derononcourt entstand. 54% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon und 10% Petit Verdot machen eine im besten Sinne runde Assemblage aus, wobei die malolaktische Gärung im Holzfass stattfand, bei 35% Neufassanteil und der Wein schließlich für volle 14 Monate in den Fässern nachreifen durfte.Eine rubinrote Farbe begrüßt uns, in der ausdrucksstarken Nase begegnen uns Schwarze Johannisbeere, Brombeere und Himbeere, alle mit einer schönen, reifen Note. Aromen von Röstmokka verleihen dem Wein eine große Eleganz und Komplexität. Am Gaumen sehr rund und stoffig, mit einem perfekten Spiel von Säure und Alkohol. Die Tannine sind seidig und führen zum ausgesprochen langanhaltenden und intensiven Ausklang hin.Wir empfehlen, den Wein mindestens eine halbe Stunde lang zu dekantieren.

Château Malescasse Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois AOP 2022

Château Malescasse is a reflection of this exceptional vintage. Malescasse, owned by Philippe Austruy since 2012, has been on an admirable upward trajectory ever since. The dedication and investments that have benefited Malescasse have now been rewarded with its classification as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2020.The wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. This red wine impresses with deep, dark hues and violet highlights. On the nose, it offers notes of black cherry, blackberry, caramel, and a hint of mint. Overall, it offers plenty of intensity, abundant fruit, and a creaminess and sweetness that nonetheless do not lack complexity. So, this is no “fruit compote,” but rather a lush bouquet, balanced by fine tannins and a very long finish.This charmer still has a long life ahead of it and will benefit from being allowed to rest a while until it has fully developed in the bottle. This should be the case around 2025. However, those who simply can’t wait should decant the Château Malescasse at least 1–1½ hours in advance.Due to its intensity, this is a wine that’s particularly impressive on its own. But it also pairs wonderfully with game, goulash, or pasta.

Château Fontesteau Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Supérieur AC 2020

Château Fontesteau 2020 is a remarkable red wine from the prestigious Haut-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux. The historic Château Fontesteau, which dates back to the 13th century, is surrounded by a rich ecosystem, including a forest of centuries-old oaks and a picturesque pond. During the reclassification in the Médoc, Château Fontesteau was promoted to the "Cru Bourgeois Supérieur" category, with only 14 of a total of 249 Cru Bourgeois represented in this higher category. The grapes for this red wine grow on the 35 hectares of vineyards on the 100-hectare estate on gravelly soils, which allow optimal drainage and ensure slow, even ripening of the grapes. The cuvée is made up of the typical Bordeaux grape varieties, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.After the harvest, vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the fruitiness and elegance of the wine. The wine is then matured in French oak barrels, which gives it additional depth and a fine spiciness. In the glass, Château Fontesteau is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet exudes intense aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries and fine roasted aromas, complemented by nuances of cedar wood and graphite. On the palate, the wine impresses with a successful balance of powerful tannins, juicy fruit and well-integrated acidity. The fine spice from the wood maturation rounds off the taste and leads to a long-lasting, elegant finish.This classic Bordeaux is an excellent accompaniment to grilled beef, rack of lamb or braised duck. It is also an excellent choice with mature hard cheese or a traditional French cheese platter.Château Fontesteau should be served at 16 to 18 °C and ideally decanted before drinking to allow the aromas to develop to their full potential.A classic Haut-Médoc with structure, depth and elegance - perfect for Bordeaux lovers and festive occasions.

Château Chante Alouette Grand Cru Saint-Émilion AOC

Chante Alouette 2018 is a typical Bordeaux from the right bank of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The vineyards are located between such famous neighbors as Château Pavie and La Gaffeliére; the sand and clay soils, in addition to careful vinification, are responsible for producing particularly elegant and rich wines with a lot of charm.Château Chante Aloutte was taken over in 1995 by the Guy d'Arfeuille family, who combine the best of tradition and modernity while respecting and appreciating nature. The blend consists of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. It is matured in barriques with 30% new wood for one year.The 2018 Chante Alouette has a deep garnet-purple color. Blueberries, sweet cherries, licorice, baked plums, tobacco and violets on the nose. The palate is wonderfully elegant, opening up a world of dark fruits with chocolate. Lots of velvet and well-integrated tannins with an intense finish complete a very rounded picture of the exceptional 2018 vintage.A wonderful solo wine, drinkable now until around 2038, which also cuts an excellent figure with game, braised meat, grilled lamb or hard cheese.
