Estate
Located in the centre of the Medoc peninsula, 50 km from Bordeaux, 50 km from
the Pointe de Grave and 4 km West of Pauillac, Fontesteau’s 100 hectares stretch
over a remarkable natural landscape.
The thirteenth century castle nestles like a precious jewel encased in a magical landscape, with its forest boasting one-hundred-year-old oak trees surrounded by pines and robinias along with a charming little lake. This château was renovated in 1997 and is now equipped to welcome customers and professionals of the wine industry.
The Fontesteau vineyard has been using integrated agricultural methods for the last 30 years, exploiting the plants’ natural defence system and avoiding where possible the use of synthetic products to protect the vineyard.
