Over het wijnhuis | Château Fonplégade dankt zijn naam aan een historische stenen fontein uit de 13e eeuw, die de wijngaard van het landgoed siert. Het betekent letterlijk ‘fontein van overvloed’, want het doofde eeuwenlang de dorst van voorbijtrekkende pelgrims en blijft vandaag de dag in de droogste jaren de wijngaarden voorzien van water. |

Awards | "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Fonplegade opens with a very savory nose of smoked meats, tapenade, sautéed herbs and beef drippings over a core of plum preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and cedar chest plus wafts of violets and cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate possesses both intensity and elegance, with the black fruit layers superbly framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and mineral laced." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A very suave, modern-style St.-Emilion with fine blackberry aromas and some bitter chocolate. Excellent balance of fruit, generous velvety tannins and lively acidity on the rich palate. Long, clean and supple finish. Drink or hold." - James Suckling "Tasted blind. Savoury, yeast-extract nose. And on the finish. Finishes a bit suddenly but it’s certainly distinctive." - Jancis Robinson "The 2016 Fonplégade offers intense blackberry, boysenberry and fig on the nose, which is quite ravishing in style but well defined. The balanced, slightly citric palate delivers sappy black fruit and impressive energy; it feels modern and velvety yet retains admirable delineation through to the rounded finish. This is a very promising Saint-Émilion from Stephen and Denise Adams." - Vinous "Delightfully fruit-filled, with warm, creamy layers of cassis, raspberry puree and plum reduction gliding through atop a velvety structure. Anise and fruitcake notes take hold on the finish, adding range and extra detail. A bit forward in style, but an echo of chalky minerality keeps this honest. Drink now through 2033. 4,000 cases made." - Wine Spectator |
