Starting in the last decade, Château Fontesteau has implemented virtuous practices inspired by sustainable development and organic farming, to transform the estate into a more respectful farm, more responsible within its ecosystem, while involving its employees.

The estate took a strong commitment by joining the Bordeaux Wine Environmental Management System (SME) in 2017.

The estate and the vineyard are managed according to the principles of organic farming.

We believe this is the best for our soil, for the microorganisms and for future generations.

Our vineyard is a living organism and we must do everything we can to improve and enrich our soils to promote a diverse, living and natural ecosystem.

Agroecology covers a set of environmentally friendly agricultural production methods.

In compliance with the principles of sustainable development and organic farming methods, we cultivate the land while thinking to the next generations.

We are a member of the French Association Vignerons Indépendants. The independent winemaker cultivates his vineyard, vinifies and markets his wine directly from the property.

The independent winemaker is passionate and assumes the quality of his work.

He cultivates the vine with care, respecting the environment and in order to satisfy his customers. 

The Independent Winemaker:

• respects its terroir,

• harvests its grapes,

• takes care of its wine making process,

• bottles its production in its cellar,

• markets its products,

• improves his process in the respect of tradition,

• welcomes at the winery and takes pleasure in presenting the fruit of his work and his culture.

The synergies between nature, our land and the work of our passionate team allow us to grow the vine while respecting ecosystems.

All our work focuses on the goal of obtaining grapes at the best of their aromatic expression.

We create wines for epicureans who like to cook, organize dinners and share the pleasures of good times with friends or family.
