The 2020 Château Fonplégade is a concentrated and refined Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé offering aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, plum, violet, cocoa, espresso, and cedar. Velvety tannins, fresh acidity, and layered dark fruit deliver a powerful yet elegant palate with exceptional balance and long cellaring potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roasted lamb, duck confit, braised short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or truffle-infused dishes.

94 Points - James Suckling

Attractive aromas of ripe black and blue fruit with crushed violets, walnut and dark chocolate. Some dried leaves, too. Medium- to full-bodied with a plush and supple palate that offers an array of ripe, racy tannins and a crunchy, deep berry character. Structured and focused with a juicy finish. Drink after 2025.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This dense wine has some serious tannins as well as layers of black fruits. Its acidity and freshness are impeccable giving finesse and a balance of fine acidity and structure. Drink from 2027.
