The Vintage 2012 Chateau Fonplegade a major success for the vintage, possesses a dense purple color with sweet blueberry, black raspberry with a hint of spring flowers, sweet tannins a medium to full bodied mouth feel, excellent fruit, texture, opulence and richness. Enlisted the services of world-renowned Oenologist Michel Rolland
As our flagship wine, Château Fonplégade is the ultimate expression of our terroir. It is also a wine of impeccable balance, bringing together the finest attributes of our vineyard to create a complex and complete expression of Saint-Emilion winemaking.
From our oldest vines grown in clay and limestone rich soils, Château Fonplégade gains its sophisticated signature minerality, as well as its sweet tannins and soft, velvety mouthfeel. Though our old-vine fruit forms the rich, compelling core of
Château Fonplégade, a modest amount of grapes from somewhat younger vines is also incorporated in the blend, adding voluptuous black fruit notes and tannic structure.
Château Fonplégade is aged for 18 to 24 months in 60% new French oak and 40% one-year-old cooperage.
