Château Fonchereau

Château Fonchereau depended as a noble house on Château Lamothe, as did the surrounding châteaux of La Moune, Puymiran and Taillefer. Today, it is run by three Mexican friends with a passion for wine.

The vast residence of Château Fonchereau commands an estate of 50 hectares: 30 hectares of vines in a single block, 20 hectares of woods and meadows. The very structure of the estate, protected by the surrounding forest and well exposed, generates a remarkable microclimate that protects the vineyards from hail and frost. These natural advantages are complemented by the high viticultural quality of the clayey gravel soils, whose gentle slope facilitates rainwater runoff.

Château Fonchereau 's vineyards, which are managed like a garden, are meticulously tended, with respect for the terroir and the practice of sustainable agriculture as the watchwords. The estate is advised by oenologists Gilles Pauquet and Stéphane Toutoundji.
