Ch\u00e2teau Fonsalade, now belonging to the Barbe family, has been established since the 15th century.
The first winegrowers, who came from around Saint Pons de Thomi\u00e8res, settled around the natural water source from which the name of the estate comes. Indeed, the water drawn from the source is exceptionally rich in sodium bicarbonate, which gives it a very slightly salty taste and its name \"Funt Salada\" in old Occitan.<\/p>

Over the years the name has gradually evolved into Fonsalade but the qualities of the water have remained: the sodium bicarbonate present in the water that we use for our viticulture work helps to fight naturally against downy and powdery mildew; it also repels many parasites.<\/p>

In the 17th century, thanks to the construction of the Canal du Midi and taking advantage of the economic development that accompanied it, the property developed with the construction of the house and the aging cellar in 1790.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since 1839, wine sales have been registered under the name Ch\u00e2teau Fonsalade. Located at the foot of the Black Mountain, about twenty kilometers north of B\u00e9ziers, Fonsalade has always been a place of welcome and sharing. This is how pilgrims took advantage of the hospitality offered on their way to Compostela by way of Arles. Three cypress trees planted at the entrance of the estate meant they could stop to drink, eat and sleep.<\/p>

A link between past and present, the three cypresses are now represented on our logo and attest in their own way to the generosity and friendliness offered to our visitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
