    • Nestled in the heart of the Haut-Médoc, between the Atlantic beaches and the Gironde estuary , Château Fontesteau extends over 100 hectares of a preserved natural environment, conducive to disconnection. This wine estate, committed to a sustainable development approach, is distinguished by its harmony with nature and its deep respect for biodiversity.

      Surrounded by forests of centuries-old oaks , pines and black locusts , as well as a peaceful lake, Château Fontesteau offers a rich and varied ecosystem. This natural diversity is at the heart of its team's philosophy, influencing every aspect of wine production.


      The 20-hectare vineyard in Organic Agriculture (ECOCERT) is also certified High Environmental Value. Each step, from viticulture to winemaking, is carried out on site with meticulous care, guaranteeing high-quality Bordeaux red wines.

      As a member of the Independent Winegrowers, Château Fontesteau produces and markets its wines directly from the estate. This helps preserve the authenticity of the terroir and ensures consistent quality. The wines are made for epicureans who appreciate conviviality, cuisine and sharing precious moments with family or friends.

      Château Fontesteau, whose history dates back to 1277, is also a welcoming place for wine tourism enthusiasts. We offer the possibility of discovering the stages of winemaking during a guided tour, of privatizing the château for a stay or of organizing corporate events, thus offering a unique experience within the lush nature of the Médoc. With its terraces, its barbecue/fireplace and its peaceful landscapes, our estate is the ideal place to recharge your batteries and appreciate the surrounding beauty.


      The commitment to nature and biodiversity is reflected in every bottle of wine produced on the estate. By choosing Château Fontesteau wines, you are supporting environmentally friendly viticulture, rooted in an exceptional terroir and driven by an unwavering passion for preserving our natural heritage.

      The estate now offers various types of events and themed tours around Slow Tourism and Nature. From Bordeaux, the vineyard is accessible by bus from Place des Quinconces, with a 15-minute approach walk along the vines.
