The estate is unusual in that its name comes from a legend and also because of its privileged location on the highest point in the Médoc.
Fonréaud was formerly called Font-réaux, meaning “royal fountain“. Legend has it that in the 12th century, the King of England, probably Henry II Plantagenet, the husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine, was walking through the grounds in search of a spring in order to quench his thirst.
