The Fonplegade Fleur de Fonplegade 2020 is a distinct expression of craftsmanship and terroir from the renowned Château Fonplegade in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux. This harmonious blend harmoniously marries Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, all organically and biodynamically grown, conveying the rich biodiversity of the estate. Exemplifying dedication to the art of winemaking, the hand-picked and double-sorted grapes undergo whole berry fermentation before maturation in carefully selected oak barrels. This process cultivates delicate aromatics and intricate complexity with smooth tannins. The palate reveals black currant, truffle, and dried herb characteristics, and a noteworthy length imbued with spice undertones. Under the stewardship of Proprietors Stephen and Denise Adams, the Fonplegade Fleur de Fonplegade 2020 encapsulates the integrity and uniqueness of their vineyard, capturing the quintessence of Bordeaux's right bank in every cherished bottle. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92)Good deep bright ruby to the rim. Crushed blackberry, bitter chocolate, smoky oak, minerals and a whiff of tar on the nose. Fat and sweet on entry, then lush and concentrated in the middle, with generous flavors of dark berries and black cherry. Impressively broad, chewy wine with a mounting finish featuring fine-grained tannins and excellent length. I'd hold this for five years before pulling the cork. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2016 Fombrauge has come together beautifully during its aging and is now a much more refined wine than it was from barrel. Sweet red berry fruit, mocha, espresso, mint and floral notes all grace this exquisite, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. The 2016 is simply impeccable, not to mention incredibly delicious. There is not much more to it than that. Tasted two times. |

Sweet dark cherry, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha build into the resonant, super-expressive finish. The 2019 is a classy Fombrauge. |

Wine Advocate (89)The resurrection and rebound in quality of Fonplegade under the Adams family of America, who hired consulting oenologist Michel Rolland, has been remarkable. The 2011 continues to provide convincing evidence of their commitment to quality. Slightly more narrowly constructed than usual, it possesses good purity along with lots of red and black fruits and minerality in a medium-bodied, compact style. Nevertheless, it should age nicely for a decade or more. |
