Built for patience, this 2010 leans into dark berry fruit, violet lift and a firm mineral edge, with plenty of structure still holding the wine tightly together. Chateau Fonplegade shows real depth here—powerful, fresh and long, with the kind of grip that suits a standout Saint-Emilion vintage more than easy early charm.

Château Fonplégade is the grand vin of this certified-organic, biodynamically farmed Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate, a Merlot‑led blend with Cabernet Franc that showcases the limestone-and-clay plateau above the town of Saint-Émilion. Sourced mainly from the property’s oldest vines and aged in a mix of French oak, concrete eggs, and amphorae, the wine is known for its ripe black-fruit richness framed by a distinctive, chalky minerality, supple tannins, and a velvety, polished texture.
