Château de Fesles Wines

Sort By:

Château de Fesles 2005 Chenin Blanc (Bonnezeaux)

Cellar Selection

Price $41

Luscious and balanced; a superb dessert wine. Brings in the ripeness and richness of great sweet Chenin wines with the grape’s ability to save its enormous reserves of acidity. A wine that will age. — R.V. (10/1/2007)

Château de Fesles 2007 Chenin Blanc (Bonnezeaux)

Packed with botrytis, the wine has great concentration, balanced with freshness. Orange zest is touched with liquid honey, and finished with a rich lemon character. — R.V. (5/1/2011)

Château de Fesles 2004 La Chapelle Chenin Sec Chenin Blanc (Anjou)

Aged for 12 months in wood, this has lost some of the fresh, inimitable Chenin Blanc taste. But it has gained in intensity and ageability, the wood bringing out vanilla and dark toast flavors while still keeping the full, fat fruit. Age for four years and this will round out impressively. — R.V. (10/1/2007)

Château de Fesles 2009 Chenin Blanc (Anjou)

Price $16

Aged in acacia wood barrels, which give less wood flavor than oak, this is an attractive, lightly oxidized wine with a toasty edge, very dry with almond and honeyed fruit flavors. — R.V. (5/1/2011)

Château de Fesles 2006 Chenin Sec Chenin Blanc (Anjou)

By contrast with the Chenin Sec from Château de Fesle’s La Chapelle vineyard, this is unoaked. That brings out the delicious, but powerful fruitiness: nuts, kiwis, a touch of honey and cantaloupe. Drink now, or keep for 3 years before opening. — R.V. (10/1/2007)

Château de Fesles 2009 La Chapelle Vieilles Vignes Cabernet Franc (Anjou)

Price $16

Ripe, berry-flavored wine, with tobacco overtones, contrasting with stalky acidity. The wine finishes on the fruity side, with red berries and plums. — R.V. (5/1/2011)

Château de Fesles 1999 Cabernet Franc (Anjou)

Online Exclusive

Price $12

— M.M. (1/1/2004)

Château de Fesles 1997 Vielles Vignes Cabernet Franc (Anjou)

Price $12

Cassis, plum, cranberry and chocolate aromas, with bell pepper and herbal accents. Black cherry, coffee and tobacco mingle on the palate. Tannic finish. — W.E. (5/1/2000)
