Region: Provence
Winery: Chateau de Fonscolmbe

The 2010 is classically modest of hue, but then has a generous and energetic burst of red-fruit flavour on the palate and a refreshing yet satisfying finish. Ideal with grilled fish.
Winery Info
Chateau de Fonscolmbe
The de Saporta family have owned Château de Fonscolombe for almost 200 years and have continued its long winemaking history. Over the years, they have modernised the cellars, replanted the vineyards with different grape varieties and improved the quality of the wines, which are now some of the best in the Provence region.
The vineyard of Château de Fonscolombe is made up of two distinct areas, both of them located in the north of the Appellation at both ends of the Trévaresse hills. A total of 100 hectares are classified as AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence .
The soil is stony clay in Le Puy Sainte Réparade and sedimentary sand that drains well in Lambesc. The estate is at an altitude of 250 metres and the nights are cooler than in the southern part of the Appellation. The average rainfall is about 600 mm a year.
