Fontaine Marcousse Winery
A.O.C. Saint-Chinian

The raw ingredients of the finest wines are the vines that are used, the soil in which they are grown and the microclimate of the wine-growing region.   But, ultimately, it is the men and women who work with these raw ingredients - and through knowledge, expertise, passion and love of winemaking - create an exceptional wine.

The Winery

Fontaine Marcousse winery is located in the southern portion of the Saint Chinian appellation in the heart of the garrigue.  The garrigue, a scrubland with excellent soil composition for wine growing, is found in the back-country of Languedoc, France, between the Black Mountains and the Mediterranean.  This area benefits from a 'micro-climat' and maximum days of sunshine per year. This exceptional wine growing region has been producing wine for more than a millennium.



The Cellar

For us, the heart of the winery – of Fontaine Marcousse – is the wine cellar. Having studied his craft at the school of œnology in Bordeaux, France, Luc Robert continues to meld the knowledge of French traditional winemaking with modern innovative techniques and the results are our exceptional wines.  Every detail is carefully scrutinized, including the selection of the type of oak to be used in our wine barrels.
