Chateau Fonplegade 2021 shows a refined, medium-bodied Saint-Émilion style, with juicy red and dark berry fruit layered with gentle spice, mocha, and a touch of dried tobacco leaf. Silky tannins and a lifted, mineral finish keep it fresh and graceful, while the oak is still knitting in and promises better harmony with short-term cellaring.

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.
