Discover La Fontaine Bordeaux:

La Fontaine Bordeaux is a testament to the rich viticultural heritage of one of the world’s most renowned wine regions. This particular expression is crafted from a blend of grapes that are quintessential to Bordeaux—Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with possible inclusions of Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot, depending on the vintage. The Merlot grape typically imparts a softness and roundness to the wine, offering lush notes of ripe plum and black cherry. On the other hand, Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and longevity, introducing layers of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant, along with hints of tobacco and sometimes a touch of green bell pepper.

The terroir—a term that encapsulates the geography, geology, and climate—of Bordeaux plays an instrumental role in shaping La Fontaine’s profile. The region’s moderate maritime climate ensures a steady growing season while gravelly soils offer excellent drainage, which stresses the vines just enough to produce concentrated fruit flavors.

In terms of maturation, La Fontaine Bordeaux often sees time in oak barrels which imbues it with additional complexity. This aging process can introduce nuances like vanilla or cedar while allowing tannins to soften over time. The result is a well-balanced wine that harmonizes fruitiness with earthy undertones.

Discover Bordeaux Wines

Bordeaux wine, usually known as claret, is any of the many wines produced in the Bordeaux area of France. Red wines created from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon account for over 90% of Bordeaux wines. Bordeaux, like Burgundy and the Rhine region, has a long history in wine culture; it was known in Roman times. During the English rule of Bordeaux, the still-functioning jurade, a regulating body dating back to the 12th century that employs its customary St. Emilion region robes for winemaking inspection, was granted a charter, first by Richard I and then by John in 1199. Claret referred to a pale wine prepared by blending red and white grapes in those days; the term is no longer used in modern French.

The contemporary Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine-producing regions in the world. The Bordeaux wine classification divides it into 36 districts, which are further divided into communes. Individual vineyards, known as châteaux in this region, are located within these communes and produce the best wines.

Some of the most popular varieties of red wine include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Zinfandel.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular varieties of red wine. It is known for its full-bodied flavor and high tannin content. This wine is often aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, smoky flavor. Some of the most famous brands of Cabernet Sauvignon include Chateau Montelena, Silver Oak, and Caymus Vineyards.

Michelle.

Shiraz, also known as Syrah, is a full-bodied red wine that is known for its spicy, peppery flavor. It is often aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, smoky flavor. Some of the most famous brands of Shiraz include Penfolds, Henschke, and Torbreck.

Zinfandel is a bold, fruity red wine that is known for its high alcohol content. It is often aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, smoky flavor. Some of the most famous brands of Zinfandel include Ridge Vineyards, Turley Wine Cellars, and Seghesio Family Vineyards.

Red wine is a great drink for many reasons. For one, it is rich in antioxidants, which can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health problems.
