For centuries, the vine rows of Chateau Fonplegade have been the source for some of Saint-Emilion’s most coveted winegrapes. Grown in ideal limestone and clay soils, and nourished in drier years by the deep under-ground water source that feeds the fountain of Fonplegade, their vines benefit from a harmonious relationship between the elements—a relationship that yields wines of uncommon grace and grandeur. As stewards of these cherished vine rows, they cultivate their vineyards using strict ECOCERT organic practices, both to preserve the purity and character of their grapes, and to ensure the legacy of Chateau Fonplegade for generations to come
As the flagship wine, Chateau Fonplegade is the ultimate expression of the terroir. It is also a wine of impeccable balance, bringing together the finest attributes of the vineyard to create a complex and complete expression of Saint-Emilion winemaking. From the chateau's oldest vines grown in clay and limestone rich soils, Chateau Fonplegade gains its sophisticated signature minerality, as well as its sweet tannins and soft, velvety mouthfeel. Though old-vine fruit forms the rich, compelling core of Chateau Fonplegade, a modest amount of grapes from somewhat younger vines is also incorporated in the blend, adding voluptuous black fruit notes and tannic structure.
