Château Les
Fontenelles is situated
in a picturesque region of the Périgord, south-west of Bergerac,
near the village of St Julien d’Eymet.
Authentic, generous and
natural... qualities and
values which Château Les Fontenelles’ wines share with its owner.
Or, rather, owners as three generations of the Bourdil family
are, or have been, involved in the vineyard.
Christiane and Jean-Maurice Bourdil had always delivered their
grape harvest to the wine co-operative but when, in 1998, their
son Nicolas joined them on the property they decided, with years
of experience behind, to invest in the creation of a winery on
the premises. The winery itself became Nicolas’ domain and by
2000 his skill in producing wines representative of the terroir
was recognised in the form of a silver medal at Challenge Blaye
Bourg for the red.
Jean-Maurice Bourdil is in charge of viticulture and lavishes
the vines with care and attention.
