Château Fonplégade

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé from the Right Bank's limestone terroir.

Château Fonplégade sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The estate produces wines rooted in the region's signature blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, varieties that thrive in the limestone and clay soils of the appellation. The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, a Grand Cru Classé wine, marries these two grapes into a structured expression of the terroir. Fleur de Fonplégade, the secondary offering, adds Cabernet Sauvignon to the blend, creating a more approachable counterpoint. Both wines have been assessed by leading critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. The winery's output reflects the classical balance Saint-Émilion demands: ripe fruit, firm tannin, and the mineral precision that defines the appellation's finest expressions.
