Château Fontanès Rouge is a 2020 red from Pic Saint-Loup in the Languedoc, France. It is made from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault.
Cyriaque Rozier, the winemaker and vineyard manager at Château La Roque, started Château Fontanès in 2003 and planted a vineyard on land once known for olive trees, before the great frost of 1956 destroyed the groves. The soil is hard limestone and clay, and he has been building stone terraces to protect it from erosion. He farms biodynamically across 4.5 hectares, with forty-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. His original cuttings came from favorite domaines in Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Bandol. His wines show raw terroir and spicy garrigue, with juicy fruit and silky tannins.
