Getting its French title from proprietor Lucie Matthies’ middle name and paying homage to the French immigrants who settled in the area, Chateau Fontaine was a deserted potato farm and cow pasture when Dan Matthies discovered the property in the 1970′s with its favorable south-facing slopes for growing grapes.

Today, the five-acre pasture is just one small parcel of the 17 acres of pinot gris, chardonnay, gewurztraminer, pinot noir and merlot.
