Caroline and Christian Gourjon's organic approach is the reason for the 'Little Bustard' bird on their label and naming the wine after their daughter, Heloise, who both can roam through their Costieres de Nimes vineyards without fear of encountering pesticides. The 2019 Chateau Font Barriele marries the lively Syrah fruit profile together with the grounded Grenache. Order a few bottles of this award-winning French red to pair with greek salad and lamb merguez sausage.

Vineyard
If the Rhone Valley terrace of galets (rounded pebbles) that houses our vineyards could talk, it would surely tell the story of a winemaking family who, for four generations, has been patiently coaxing from its terroir the delicate yet powerful expression of an age-old vineyard, with its Mediterranean roots. Along with preserving our winemaking heritage, we are also protecting here an endangered bird, the Little Bustard, that nests in the heart of our vineyards, which is situated in a Natura 2000 habitat.

Region
On the border of the Costieres de Nimes and Cotes du Rhone appellations, where Arles, Nimes, and Avignon converge, the Chateau Font Barriele is a discreet jewel at the heart of a treasure trove of history.

Winemaker Notes
Heloise, our daughter, was the inspiration for this iconic cuvee of our property. The wine breathes the joy of life and happiness. The array of varietals and terroirs that create it offers all of their personalities to the wine.
