Chateau Fonplégade 2014 layers ripe plum, blackberry and a touch of dark chocolate over a lively, graphite-tinged backbone, showing both generosity and precision. The medium-bodied palate is lined with firm yet polished tannins and subtle spice from well-judged oak, finishing long, fresh and quietly powerful as it opens in the glass.

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.
