IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

As the flagship wine, Chateau Fonplegade is the ultimate expression of our terroir. It is also a wine of impeccable balance, bringing together the finest attributes of the vineyard to create a complex and complete expression of Saint-Emilion winemaking. From the chateau's oldest vines grown in clay and limestone rich soils, Chateau Fonplegade gains its sophisticated signature minerality, as well as its sweet tannins and soft, velvety mouthfeel.

Though old-vine fruit forms the rich, compelling core of Chateau Fonplegade, a modest amount of grapes from somewhat younger vines is also incorporated in the blend, adding voluptuous black fruit notes and tannic structure.
