Reviews and Ratings

Château De Fontaine-Audon 2016 is produced with 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine grapes. This is a medium-bodied mouth-watering white with white grapefruit pith, gooseberry, and stony flavours and really does need food like grilled shellfish or rich pasta dishes with cream sauces. Château de Fontaine-Audon is one of only four châteaux in Sancerre. The 2016 Sancerre Fontaine-Audon is produced from silex terroirs with elevage in stainless steel tank. It offers a beautiful sense of minerality to go with clean, crisp notes of citrus fruits. - Community Wine Reviews
