Château Fortia

Cuvée du Baron

Château Fortia is located in the heart of the most famous appellation in the south of the Rhone Valley, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it is one of the oldest wine estates of the appellation. The estate has been owned by the same family for four generations. At the beginning of the 20th century, Château Fortia passed under the direction of Baron Pierre Le Roy de Boiseaumarié who became an emblematic figure in the French wine world due to his role in the creation of the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system. Today, the estate is still owned by the grandchildren of Baron Le Roy de Boiseaumarié who continue to develop excellence and preserve the tradition and spirit Fortia.

This cuvée, elaborated in 2001 was created in the honor of Baron Pierre Le Roy de Boiseaumarié. With its blend of mostly Grenache and Syrah, its complexity, its richness and its delicate aromas of spices and ripe fruits, the Cuvée du Baron reveals all the typicity of the terroirs of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
