29/04 - Chateau de Fontenille Wine Dinner
We’re delighted to welcome Château de Fontenille to Cigalon for an exclusive evening celebrating the elegance and diversity of Bordeaux wines.
Located in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, Château de Fontenille has been cultivating vines since the 13th century. Today, under the stewardship of Stéphane Defraine, the estate is known for its meticulous vineyard practices, sustainable approach, and exceptional quality across both red and white wines. From limestone-rich soils to hand-harvesting and precise vinification, every detail reflects a deep respect for terroir.
“My aim is to craft wines that express their origin with honesty and purity—wines with energy, balance, and soul.”
