Château de Fontenille 2009 White (Entre-Deux-Mers)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is white Bordeaux at its freshest, bursting with herbaceous flavors, very grassy. It does have some weight of green plum flesh and a creamy texture. Delicious.

An attractive herbaceous wine, its acidity with a strong citrus element. Asparagus, pineapple and green plums all give a bright, fresh character.

Château de Fontenille 2009 Red (Bordeaux)

Perfumed wine, full of up-front red berry fruits, soft tannins and juicy, smoky acidity. It lacks depth, but is rich from the vintage, with an attractive, smooth aftertaste.

Château de Fontenille 2008 Red (Bordeaux)
- $12
Attractively fruity, with plenty of red berry and black cherry flavors. Along with the fruit, the tannins and spice round out the texture, giving a final velvet feel.

Château de Fontenille 2006 Red (Bordeaux)
- $12
A well-made, fresh wine, wearing its black currant and berry fruit easily, to give good depth of flavor. The structure is muted, but the whole wine is well balanced, and ready to drink.

Château de Fontenille 2010 Rosé (Bordeaux Clairet)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Darker in color than a rosé, this Clairet is fruity with ripe strawberry fruit. But it does seem heavily laced with caramel as well as some tannins and spice.
