One of Emmanuel Reynaud's shining stars
Wines from Château de Fonsalette: purchase at the best price
Property of the Reynaud family since 1945, Château de Fonsalette covers around ten hectares of vines, woodland and olive trees. Taken over by Emmanuel in 1997 following the sudden death of his uncle Jacques, who had previously managed it. Grenache, cinsault, syrah as well as clairette and marsanne are cultivated here. From these grapes, wines are produced under the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation — both white and red — which are not without echoes of the finesse of their elder siblings from Château Rayas (also a property of the Reynaud family). Although sourced from different terroirs and blends, they are vinified in the same location by the same team.
