In 1432, according to historical documents, the castle belonged to Comte Pierre de Gange, but it was in XVIII century that Jean Mouton de la Clotte redesigned the property in the style we see it today.(The name of the cuvée \"Mouton\" is a tribute to him).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1792, when it caught fire, the castle was owned by Comte de Montlaur; his family kept the property until last century. In the nineties, Maryline and Philippe Pagès fell under its spell and purchased the domaine. Since that time they have been working to restore the castle to its former magnificence. . Everything is worked by gravity. The first vintage was 2000.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChateau Fontane \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style10\"\u003eBack in 1993, they planted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e40 hectares.
