“An exclusive, inaugural circle for those who join the story from the beginning.”
The Founding Fellowship of Château Follent is the first and most honoured tier of the Château Follent membership. Limited to a small company of early believers — a Fellowship in the truest sense — this club represents the original companions who set out on the journey with the House of Follent from its very first vintage.
This isn’t merely a wine club.
It is an order, a circle, a band of founders bound together by craft, story, and the shared belief that great things begin small — with courage, creativity, and good company.
The Founding Fellowship exists to:
By joining the Fellowship, you are woven into the founding chapter of Château Follent — not as a spectator, but as a recognised companion.
The Fellowship is strictly limited to a small and select company, chosen in the spirit of wisdom, friendship, and shared delight in wine.
Your membership is not just a subscription. It is a seat at the table of the House of Follent in its earliest days.
Members of the Founding Fellowship receive a set of privileges designed to reflect their place in the story.
Each year, members may choose one of two annual allocations:
Each allocation is drawn from the cellar of Château Follent and is known as your Chapter Release, marking each year of your Fellowship, as vineyards mark the passing of seasons.
Founding Fellowship members receive a 20% reduction on the price of all Château Follent wines available to the wider public, for as long as they remain in the Fellowship.
This is our way of acknowledging that you stood with us at the beginning.

| Founding Fellowship – Twelve | 12 | $20 | $240 / year |
The full Charter of the Founding Fellowship is written in the language of crests, vineyards, and medieval oaths — but its heart can be shared simply.
The House of Follent shall keep a Ledger of the Founding Fellowship, inscribed with the names of all twenty-five companions who take their place in this inaugural circle.
This ledger is more than a list; it is a record of gratitude and remembrance.
Those inscribed will be remembered as:
“Guardians of the First Vintage,
And honoured members of the Founding Fellowship of Château Follent.”
Places in the Founding Fellowship are strictly limited to 25.

To those who join us at the beginning:
“So it is written.
So it shall stand.
