Château Fontanès is helmed by winemaker Cyriaque Rozier, who crafts his own wines alongside projects like Château La Roque. Les Traverses de Fontanès is made from old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon planted on limestone–clay soils of the Pic Saint‑Loup foothills. The wine is naturally fermented in concrete, then aged 6–12 months in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal clarity.
TASTING NOTES: Ruby‑red in color with expressive aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, thyme, and a subtle herbal lift. On the palate it’s full-bodied, with plush dark fruit, light spice, chalky minerality, and firm but integrated tannins—offering a smooth, mouth‑watering finish. Ideal for those seeking bold flavors with drinkability.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Complements grilled red meats, herb-accented dishes, charcuterie, tomato-based fare, and rustic Mediterranean cuisine.
