This French winery was founded in 1827 in the heart of the Bergerac region. This region is often confused with the mighty Bordeaux. But despite the wine capital being just a stone's throw away, Bergerac certainly has its own identity. This is also true for Château Les Fontenelles. Its vineyards are nestled amidst the rolling hills so characteristic of the Bergerac region. Nestled among the typical small French villages, the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes grow with great satisfaction. The harvest takes place later than usual. Because the grapes are overripe, they accumulate a lot of residual sugar, which gives Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Moelleux its slightly sweet character.
Moelleux is the French term for plump. This is also characteristic of Moelleux wines. Because the wine is somewhat thicker and bursting with fruity notes, Château Les Fontenelles Bergerac Moelleux acquires its sweetness. This is clearly evident as soon as you engage your senses. Sultry notes of tropical fruits such as melon, pineapple, peach, and apricot dominate the nose. A hint of honey completes the whole. The taste is sweet but never cloying. Refined and elegant. The tropical fruit plays with your taste buds, making this top-notch wine a pleasure to drink.
