The name "Fonréaud", formerly "Font-réaux", means "Royal Fountain". Legend has it that an English king and his entourage stopped at Fonréaud and found a source of water to quench their thirst. The cool spring still flows at the bottom of the park. The current castle, built in 1855 to the plans of architect Louis Garros, will charm you with its elegant architecture. In late 1962, Léo Chanfreau was captivated by the place and bought the estate, deciding to settle there with his family. Today, Jean and Marie-Hélène Chanfreau continue his work. This classic, round and refined Médoc wine is widely recognized by its peers, classified as Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 1932 and 2003, a Cru Bourgeois member of the Alliance of Crus Bourgeois du Médoc, and a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. It is an essential wine, appreciated by connoisseurs.
