About The Winery

While the Faure family’s estates have traditionally been centred in the heart of the Côtes de Bourg appellation, Delphine Faure had a dream to expand into the neighbouring Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux (formerly Côtes de Blaye).

In 1995, Delphine made this dream come true by acquiring Château Fontarabie, a place she fell in love with at first sight. This smart move shows Delphine’s vision for growth and her passion for exploring different terroirs. By adding Château Fontarabie to the family’s portfolio, Delphine not only expanded their estates geographically but also opened a new chapter in winemaking, further enriching the Faure family’s legacy in Bordeaux.
