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, as Nicolas Bourdil is the third generation of wine growers to Château Les Fontenelles.

His father and grandfather before him officiated at the estate, and in 1999 at the very young age of 20, Nicolas decided to live on the family property.
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 his terroir always recognised for all his wines.
