Château Gaillot Fournier

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Château Gaillot Fournier is located east of Bordeaux in the charming Entre-Deux-Mers region, also known as the French Tuscany. A small familial property in the town of Tizac de Curton less than 15 km across the Dordogne River from St. Emilion, the Château converted to organic farming in 2020. The plots, planted mainly with old vines, cover 19 hectares and enjoy favorable sun exposure where the clay and limestone soils make it ideal to grow merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon.
