Founded in the late 1980s by Dany and Michel Rolland, Chateau Fontenil is located in the municipality of Saillans in the Bordeaux appellation of Fronsac. The estate has vineyards along the River Isle and near the town of Libourne which enjoy limestone clay soils and southern exposure. Here the company, under the guidance of the famous winemakers, produces two red wines and a white.
The wine is a perfect blend of typical Bordeaux vines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with additions of Chardonnay, a grape much loved by the producers, and finally, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris which add a touch of aromaticity. The grapes are harvested manually from a plot located on a hill with clay-limestone soils, uprooted from red varieties in 2016, and replanted in 2017. Fermentation takes place in concrete barrels and the wine then ages on the yeasts for 9 months.
Blanc de Fontenil has a clear and brilliant golden color. Its aromatic profile is fresh and intense with exotic notes of passion fruit, followed by citrus fruits and ripe apples, white flowers and honeysuckle, and finally some hints of spices. On the palate, it is dense and fruity, juicy and elegant. It has a marked acidic streak which creates a very balanced sensation. The finish is long and aromatic. Excellent with grilled chicken, salads with citrus fruits, or lemon creamy pasta.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
