Château Fonplegade

The impressive 18.5ha property, situated close to the famous Château Angelus, belongs to Americans Denise and Stephen Adams who, with the advice of Michel Rolland and Stéphane Derenoncourt are now producing one of the best value for money Grand Crus in St.Emilion.

This château is just getting better and better under the ownership of Americans Denise and Stephen Adams. The bouquet is fragrant and fresh, red cherries, raspberries and flowers. The palate is rich and plump, with a lovely juicy acidity giving perfect balance and finely grained tannins giving strength and underlying support. This really is a very classy wine, beautifully defined with a very polished finish.

Delicious with beef ribs with mushrooms, bacon and potatoes.

Produced biodynamically. Aged for between 16 and 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels, 30% one year barrels, 10% cement eggs and 10% amphora.
