About Winery
Frédéric Engerer, President of Château Latour in Pauillac for 15 years and more recently Domaine d'Eugénie in Vosne Romanée, along with his childhood friend, Jérôme
Malet decided in 1997 to conduct a joint wine experience: a mass selection of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in Roussillon and a rare wine, called Marius (Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes) first marketed in 2004.
In 2008, they embarked on another wine experience and revived an estate graced by centuries of history, le lieu-dit
Fontbonau. Domaine de Fontbonau is a 42 hectare estate located in a hilly and wild
environment where 14 hectares of vineyards neighbour
truffle oak trees, safre rocks, junipers, olive trees and lavender
fields. It is a privileged site in a
locality south of the Drôme Provençale.
